There are several similar questions here, but in case they are outdated, still let me ask.
I did
Needs["CCompilerDriver`"]
and then
CreateExecutable[
StringJoin["int main(){\n", " printf(\"Hello world.\\n\");\n",
"}\n"], "hiworld",
"Compiler" ->
CCompilerDriver`VisualStudioCompiler`VisualStudioCompiler,
"CompilerInstallation" ->
"c:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2022\\Preview",
"CompilerName" -> Automatic, "ShellOutputFunction" -> Print]
The output is this:

Indeed I checked that I don't have anywhere on my system files user32.lib, kernel32.lib or gdi32.lib, neither do I have user64.lib, kernel64.lib, gdi64.lib or user.lib, kernel.lib or gdi.lib.
What's wrong and how to fix it?
