WDK Setup doesn't see Visual Studio?

I install the Windows Driver Kit for Visual Studio according to this manual: https://youtu.be/HFobGp7VZeA
But for some reason, when he starts WDK Setup, after specifying the path and permission to send Microsoft data, the installation starts, and I get a warning "The windows driver kit does not contain compilers, linkers or general build tools. You will not have a build environment for drivers when you complete this installation.
The wdk integrates with visual studio community edition and above to provide a complete build environment.
If you install Visual Studio, you should
rerun this WDK setup to obtain the build extensions for Visual Studio.

Could this be causing problems? I have VS Community 2019

Problem solved.
The fact is that my Visual Studio Installer was bugged, and when I entered it, it gave the error "Unable to find a product that matches the parameters: installPath="D:\Microsoft Visual Studio\....""
I had to reinstall it on the C:\ drive (according to the standard path: Program Files (x86) ... ) and everything worked.
Probably, this is due to the fact that I deleted some important folder somewhere, I often climb into C: \ and clean the trash.
