I am trying to learn Ocaml and have tried time and time again to install it on windows.
Every time I attempt an install I get the exact same error.

❯ winget install Microsoft.VisualStudio.2019.BuildTools --override "--wait --passive --installPath C:\VS --addProductLang En-us --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.VCTools --includeRecommended"

An unexpected error occurred while executing the command:

I am running these commands in CMD and I have no idea what is going wrong.
Please help me as I would love to learn Ocaml.

EDIT: Going into control panel and manually uninstalling an older version of DKML fixed it.
