The Developers Guide states:

Check the checkbox for "Desktop development with C++" and then uncheck all
the optional components other than the "VC++ 2019" item with the "latest …
tools", the "Windows 10 SDK", and the "Visual C++ tools for CMake" (unless
you want to use them for purposes other than Wireshark).

Was this insufficient, I admit it took me several attempts to parse it?

I shall try to find time to create a deployment xml file for VS 2019 so it
can be automated and remove the potential for confusion.  The other option
is to use the chocolatey installers for VS 2019 and the native desktop
workload, named "visualstudio2019community" and
visualstudio2019-workload-nativedesktop" respectively.

Others don't seem to have these issues, this seems to be tied to your
missing "Platform" env. var.
