Hello J_Issa1,
Do you have any plugins installed that may need to compile their code when attempting to package? Also, so that I may be able to determine why it is requiring you to have Visual Studio, could you provide the logs from one of your packaging attempts? The easiest way to do this would be to freshly open the editor, run the packaging process, close the editor after it fails, and upload the latest log file from your project’s directory under Saved > Logs.
