> I got all the way to downloading Build Tools for Visual Studio 2019 (Version > 16.9) and it said I needed a subscription. Is there any other way to download > it? Unfortunately yes, we legally cannot distribute the download. If you have a github account, it looks like you can sign in with that. Also, it looks like the link in the notes no longer brings the specific product up. So please use this link: https://my.visualstudio.com/Downloads?q=Build%20Tools%20for%20Visual%20Studio%202019 and select the 16.9 version.
