Windows requires a prebuilt mconf-idf

Hi,
I've installed the expressif extensions from the Marketplace into Visual Studio and am trying to build one of the examples. I'm getting the following error: Windows requires a prebuilt mconf-idf for your platform on the PATH, or an MSYS2 version of gcc on the PATH to build mconf-idf.
How do I correct this?
Thanks

Could you provide more information such as:
- IDF tools installer version
- Are you building using VS Code IDF extension commands, or directly on command line?
- Provide a copy of the error log
