I'm currently in the process of building a Node application that can interact with C++ functions. I've come across suggestions to utilize the node-gyp package. Following the setup outlined in this guide, when attempting to execute npm config set msvs_version 2017 in my command prompt, it returns an error message.
npm ERR!

I have Visual Studio 2022 and Python 3.10 installed on my system. I've experimented with different commands such as:
npm config set msvs_version 2022 -g
npm config set msvs_version=2022
I've also attempted to reinstall the C++ development workloads within Visual Studio without success. Unfortunately, my searches on Google haven't yielded any helpful information. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.
