Problem with build.cmd

I have gotten all the prerequisites and requirements, I tried to manually build and it failed. There are no free public downloads for visual studio 2022 anymore so I've been using visual studio 2026.

Every single time I try the auto builder (because manual didn't work) it spits out this error

The system cannot find the path specified. ======================= BUILD ASEPRITE HELPER ========================
