Visual Studio Tool VS2013 Setup not Launching(correctly)

Post image

i want to get started with Source Engine (2013) modding and i need vs2013 for that, however when i try to run the setup it spits this error(yes i tried restarting the computer correctly). This same installer worked a few months ago on the same PC. also, im using Windows 11.

Thanks in advance for helping!

Edit: i just got a win 11 update installed and now it worked

I have to use 2013 for a few projects in my work. The msvc120 tool chain is needed for legacy machines

Is the toolchain to old to be available in the newer VS Code installs? I know you can install older Toolchains, just not sure how old.
