It just requires the build tools. If you use scoop, that entails to:

> run `scoop install vs_2022_cpp_build_tools`

(from the "required libraries" link in https://crystal-lang.org/install/on_windows/)

This specifically installs the Visual C++ Compiler and the Windows headers so that you can get a command prompt with all that in your PATH. It is not a full-fat VS install. The difference is something like 20-30GBs for the full VS install vs 1-2GB for these specific components.
