[Build Errors][Windows 11] : vcpkg install fail - cairo

Software
1

Hi,
I am trying to setup a build environment for KiCad according to the official build documentation on a new Win11 pro computer. Basically a clean install. There is no (other) version of python installed on the machine.

Kicad Source is cloned from git to C:\dev\.

Vcpkg resides in C:\dev\vcpkg by cloning from github (as in description).

C:\dev\CMakeSettings.json has path to vcpkg:

CMakesettings.json is updated -

      ],
      "cmakeToolchain": "${env.VcPkgDir}/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake"

}

CMake gives me 2 errors -
