Error during build when installing ZLIB

[MATTJ0NES]

I'm attempting to build with NVIDIA's prebuilt binaries. However, am getting an error in my build when it attempts to install ZLIB. My output is below showing the exact error message.

Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

Exactly same issue.

I tried to rerun the command:python ufginstall.py "D:\gltftousdz\UFG_BUILD" "D:\USD" --testdata

The error message changed but still related to zlib:

What worked for me was, running the installer in "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019" As zlib tries to access Visual Studio at the end.

Thanks for your reply! I just retried to run the command again after restarting my device and it just worked.

In addition, I've noticed that after a failed build the install will complain. I had to completely remove the ZLIB folder, then reopen the terminal in x64 Visual Studio console for it to work.
