Type of issue

  • [X ] Request for additional tools or software for an existing image.
  • [ X] Other

Describe the issue
The install of the Windows SDK on these machines is incomplete, and does not include the critical debugging tools needed for chromium builds.

To Reproduce
Set up your chromium dev script, do a gsync, fetch hooks, etc, and then run gn gen to get the following from vs_toolchain.py:

You must install Windows 10 SDK version 10.0.26100.0 including the "Debugging Tools for Windows" feature.
ERROR at //build/toolchain/win/BUILD.gn:24:3: Script returned non-zero exit code.
  exec_script("../../vs_toolchain.py",
  ^----------

Expected behavior
Because the windows SDK is already installed, I expect this to already be installed and I have no way to install it because I don't have a UI to use and the installer script does not work. Winget is also not installed, so I cant use it.

Screenshots
Not needed

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Windows ARM64

Additional context
You'll know you have everything you need when you can successfully compile Chromium from scratch on one of these images. I'm trying to do that work right now and I'm finding that Github images do not allow this because of the sheer amount of stuff that is simply not installed. All I need is a good compiler tool chain.
