Unable to compile Rust hello world on Windows: linker link.exe not found

I have installed Rust on windows from Rust installation page. After installation I tried running the "hello world" program but got the following error.

>cargo run


Error

Compiling helloworld v0.1.0 (C:\Users\DELL\helloworld)

error: linker link.exe not found
note: The system cannot find the file specified. (os error 2)
note: the msvc targets depend on the msvc linker but link.exe was not found
note: please ensure that VS 2013, VS 2015 or VS 2017 was installed with the Visual C++ option
error: aborting due to previous error
error: Could not compile helloworld.

To learn more, run the command again with --verbose.


Code:

fn main() {
println!("Hello, world!");
}


I downloaded and installed the Build Tools for Visual Studio 2019. During installation I selected the C++ tools. It downloaded almost 5GB of data. I restarted the machine after installation and compiling the code worked fine:

> cargo run
Compiling helloworld v0.1.0 (C:\Users\DELL\helloworld)
Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 12.05s
Running target\debug\helloworld.exe
Hello, world!
