   This (the requested information):

   vswhere.exe -format json -utf8 -latest

   is not the same as what you actually ran:

   vswhere.exe -json -utf8 -latest

   Could you provide the output of running with exactly the requested flags?

   Here is the correct command as request :

   C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer>vswhere -format json -utf8 -latest
   
   []
   
   C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer>

   That means that vswhere is giving us incorrect information. Could you file a bug against vswhere and reference it here? Hopefully they can figure out why it's not finding your install, and depending on the underlying cause we can see if it's something we can work around in the Flutter tool (or at least provide suggestions for in the tool).

   Based on discussion there, the fallback check should be passing -all to catch cases where there is an install that is present but not complete/working. We can parse out the relevant key/value pair(s), which we'll need to look up, and expose to doctor to provide a different error message.
