Running build.ps1 no longer works with the current version of Visual Studio C++ Tools.

Did you install the Visual Studio C++ Tools first? That error message suggests that the compiler isn't correctly installed.

If you think that you've correctly installed the compiler, then try running the script from a Visual Studio Developer Tools command prompt. There should be something with a similar name as that in your Start Menu somewhere. Pick the x86 one.

Otherwise, does the script have any other output before that error message?

I'm closing this issue since I haven't received any further updates and I suspect that the Visual Studio C++ Tools weren't properly installed.

If you are still having issues, please feel free to reopen this issue.

Not able to build for the same reasons:

PS E:\Downloads\lockdown-browser> .\build.ps1

NuGet provider is required to continue
PowerShellGet requires NuGet provider version '2.8.5.201' or newer to interact with NuGet-based repositories. The NuGet
 provider must be available in 'C:\Program Files (x86)\PackageManagement\ProviderAssemblies' or
'C:\Users\William\AppData\Local\PackageManagement\ProviderAssemblies'. You can also install the NuGet provider by
running 'Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -MinimumVersion 2.8.5.201 -Force'. Do you want PowerShellGet to install
and import the NuGet provider now?

Nevermind, reinstalled and everything good

Sorry to revive this thread, it looks like I never responded back. I had incorrectly installed the prerequisites and reinstalling them solved the issue. Also it looks like this works on Windows 11 without issue.
