I'm not sure what you mean with "just that", but eg the scoop package manager has visualc package: `scoop bucket add extras scoop info visualc > (...) > The command-line compiler > functions of VS 2010 C++ scoop install visualc` https://scoop.sh https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Extras/blob/master/bucket/... Might be something via chocolaty/winget too?

Scoop is a bit like a user focused apt/homebrew. It's mostly for installing programs, not development dependencies.
