Hi @gizmocuz
Thanks for posting this issue.
Since static build on Windows is currently not supported in vcpkg.
The result you encountered is intended now.
I will try to fix this later.

@gizmocuz
I submitted a PR to fix this.
Could you please help confirm if this can work for you?

The PR has been merged. Please try to update vcpkg and rebuild this.

@NancyLi1013 , Thank you for the PR
Unfortunately it does not work 100%, when using the static triplet no DLL's are copied into the build folder.
But the final executable still depends on mosquitto.dll
