Before building the Windows installer, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

Downloading the VC++ Redistributable Installer
The Windows installer requires the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2022 (x64) installer. You need to download it from Microsoft's website and place it in the same directory as the Inno Setup script (build_exe_installer.iss).

- Save the file as
vc_redist.x64.exein thescripts\windowsdirectory
