This PR updates the Windows Building Instructions and the Boxstarter Automated Installation Script due to the following:

  • The vcbuild.bat will require Python3 to be installed, but on Windows, if Python 2 is installed, it will take precedence over the $PATH; also, Python2 is not needed for Node.js builds anymore.
  • If installed on ARM64, the recommended packages are incompatible. ARM64 compatibility was added with Visual Studio 2022 (17.4.0 or higher)
    • Updated the scripts to use VS2022 Chocolatey Packages
    • Updated the Building docs to use the newest Visual Studio Packages (which are compatible with Windows 10 and Windows 11)
  • Updated Docs to clarify that folks should first clone the repository and head to the cloned directory. A bunch of newcomers on Grace Hopper were confused about this.
