Failed to locate 'CL.exe' when building electron app using drivelist #356

Closed hamiltonjoe closed 4 years ago

hamiltonjoe commented 4 years ago

Running from VSCode does not show this error, only when trying to build and run the electron app. I have included the terminal output and the log that it references.

The main issue is this line: TRACKER : error TRK0005: Failed to locate: "CL.exe". The system cannot find the file specified. [D:\myappClient\node_modules\drivelist\build\drivelist.vcxproj]

Where is drivelist looking for this executable?

The things that helped this was:

  1. Reinstall Visual Studio 2015 and choose Custom Install, Select Visual C++ during the installation.

Then run the follow commands in VSCode terminal:

  1. npm install -global --vs2015 --production windows-build-tools
  2. npm config set msvs_version 2015

Then finally set the environment varible to:

  1. SET VCTargetsPath=C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V140
