No module named 'custom_rasterizer':tried to complie but nvcc issue

[Crugsmash]

I've seen a few others addressing this but it seems my issue is unique. the build starts but a few seconds in it throws the error

C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v11.8\include\crt/host_config.h(153): fatal error C1189: #error:  -- unsupported Microsoft Visual Studio version! Only the versions between 2017 and 2022 (inclusive) are supported! The nvcc flag '-allow-unsupported-compiler' can be used to override this version check; however, using an unsupported host compiler may cause compilation failure or incorrect run time execution. Use at your own risk.
error: command 'C:\\Program Files\\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\\CUDA\\v11.8\\bin\\nvcc.exe' failed with exit code 2

Im not sure why im getting the error, i verified that VS is up to date.

I don't know how to pass nvcc.exe the '-allow-unsupported-compiler' flag. I know im missing something oblivious, please any help would be appreciated.
