Vcpkg: can't install on windows 10 with vs17 and toolsets v140 + v141

[sagunkho]

I've installed visual studio with toolsets v140 and v141 but I get the following error -

C:\vcpkg>git reset HEAD --hard
HEAD is now at cfdc331b [darknet/yolo] new port (#5648)

WindowsSDK ?

[sagunkho]

@Voskrese Are you trying to ask me or suggest something?

[Voskrese]

Please ensure you have installed Visual Studio with the
Desktop C++ workload and the Windows SDK for Desktop C++.

Install Windows SDK for Desktop C++

I just want to take this opportunity to say that windows sucks balls.

@sagunkho @Voskrese

DO NOT follow the README.md from https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg

Download the zip file directly and unzip it, you'll have a folder named vcpkg-master.

Then open the PowerShell, cd to the path vcpkg-master and bootstrap-vcpkg.bat.

[sagunkho]

@LuciousZhang Thanks but I tried your way and still the same...

по скрину видно что вы используете toolset v141 в triplet
а установлен только MSVC 2015 = v140

translate google

On the screen you can see that you use the toolset v141 in triplet
MSVC 2015 = v140 only installed

[sagunkho]

@Voskrese When I didn't have MSVC 2015 (v140 toolset) installed it complained that I didn't have v140 installed. After installing it, I get this issue.

[Voskrese]

It is possible, but the error shows that the paths are ... \ v4.0 \ v140 \ Micro ...
this is from MSVC 2015

have 2017-2019 other ways to Targets MSBUILD

возможно, но в ошибке видно что пути ..\v4.0\v140\Micro...

@Voskrese Thanks, tried it but still the same.

[Voskrese]

open in IDE 2017 - ..\vcpkg\toolsrc\vcpkg.sln - build

or

[sagunkho]

Ok done building the project but not sure what to do now, there's no vcpkg.exe in the root folder.

)) find C:\Users\sagun\Desktop\Developmentvcpkg-master\toolsrc
and copy vcpkg.exe to C:\Users\sagun\Desktop\Developmentvcpkg-master

[sagunkho]

There's no vcpkg.exe in the folder

[Voskrese]

somewhere in the subfolders, click in the upper right corner of the search and the name that you are looking for)))

[sagunkho]

ah lol :)

thanks.

[sagunkho]

Ok, thanks, will update after reinstall.

[sagunkho]

@Voskrese I have removed visual studio completely, including the installer. Restarted my computer and reinstalled with same packages listed above.
Then I've re-runned all the commands above to build dirs.proj, I had to install Windows 8.1SDK. After doing that I re-run the command and now I get -

"C:\Users\sagun\Desktop\Development\vcpkg-master\toolsrc\dirs.proj" (ReBuild target) (1) ->
"C:\Users\sagun\Desktop\Development\vcpkg-master\toolsrc\vcpkglib\vcpkglib.vcxproj" (Build target) (2:4) ->

    0 Warning(s)

[Voskrese]

do as in the instructions via bootstrap
if everything is OK, then there should be no error in the package installation

[Voskrese]

c:\program files (x86)\windows kits\8.1\include\um\winnt.h(31): fatal

but if you get confused, edit or delete this tag in all .vcxproj

<WindowsTargetPlatformVersion>8.1</WindowsTargetPlatformVersion>
to
<WindowsTargetPlatformVersion>10.0</WindowsTargetPlatformVersion>

or delete just <WindowsTargetPlatformVersion>8.1</WindowsTargetPlatformVersion>

or

10.0.17134.0 = ver WindowsSDK install

msbuild /v:diag /p:Configuration=Debug /p:Platform=x86 /p:PlatformToolset=v141 /p:TargetPlatformVersion="10.0.17134.0" /p:WindowsTargetPlatformVersion="10.0.17134.0" /target:ReBuild dirs.proj

@sagunkho Thanks for your feedback. I have installed VS 2017 15.9.11( V141 + V140 installed), and I did not reproduce this issue anymore. Please reopen a new issue if it is still a problem for you!
