This is caused by a bug in vcpkg with paths containing spaces - fixed by #13126. In the meantime, you can work around it by cloning vcpkg to a path without a space, eg C:\vcpkg.

Hi @MicSm ,
According to @Hoikas ’s suggestion, you can verify if it is feasible？

Hi @JonLiu1993 ,

Right now I made a full reinstall of vcpkg, and it seems there is another one error as well
(after executing vcpkg.exe install assimp):

@JonLiu1993 As I see, my vcpkg installation was compiled with VS 2019 compiler and it is possible to download directly from browser that archive: https://repo.msys2.org/mingw/i686/mingw-w64-i686-pkg-config-0.29.2-1-any.pkg.tar.xz

Hi @MicSm ,
I feel your problem has been solved, can I close the issue?

Yes, but need to fix another one from my above message about when vcpkg tries to download https://repo.msys2.org/mingw/i686/mingw-w64-i686-pkg-config-0.29.2-1-any.pkg.tar.xz and fails
