3 years ago Hi @Leandros,
It seems the script doesn't work anymore even with VS2017 since they split up the UCRT. I have been trying to adapt it using both VS2019 and VS2017, but it seems like nowadays making sure all the files are in the right place isn't enough, as cl.exe struggles to find some of the required DLLs, possibly missing some env variables? I tried recreating the same environment as the dev console (vcvarsall.bat) but that didn't seem to help.

Cheers!
I don't think, VS2017 and VS2019 are that much different. Have you tried adapting the script?
