Create GUID: The command is not a valid executable

My hdd died two days ago and I re-installed windows 10 Pro(64 bit) and Visual Studio 2017. While I was programming today for one project I came across with the following error : “The command is not a valid executable”. I did try to find the “genguid.exe” on the path “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\Tools" but the exe was not there.

I googled around and I found this site. Apparently you need to install the Desktop Developement with C++ in order the CreateGuid to work(see the above image).
