It seems there is some recent issue with vswhere.exe that is making the
invocation in our configure.ac give blank output. This is now affecting
three newcomers.
Mike Kaganski has been providing assistance and we have double-checked
screenshots of Visual Studio installer. The installers show the right
components, but this command outputs nothing on the affected systems:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\vswhere.exe"
-prerelease -version "[ 16 , 17 )" -requires
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.Tools.x86.x64 -property
installationPath
This happened both with VS2019 and 2022.
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?
One of these was now solved in a screensharing call with Hossein. The
reson was that with VS2022 one needs this in autogen.input:
--with-visual-studio=2022
The VS2019 one was solved earlier with a Windows update.
The third person was also using VS2022, so I will let them know about this.
