Describe the bug A clear and concise description of what the bug is. When using vcpkg install, an error occurred: in triplet x64-windows: Unable to find a valid Visual Studio instance Could not locate a complete Visual Studio instance

Environment

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. .\vcpkg install thrift
  2. See error Error: in triplet x86-windows: Unable to find a valid Visual Studio instance Could not locate a complete Visual Studio instance
rrodrigueznt commented 2 years ago

Hi! I'm facing the same issue in a similar environment, trying to install any package. Some comments:

  1. Visual Studio Code is not a compiler. It is an editor that accepts a lot of extensions, enabling among many other features compiling and debugging.
  2. I don't know if Visual Studio Code could be considered "a complete Visual Studio instance" as the error message reads.
  3. Messages available from Visual Studio Code error link to https://vcpkg.io/en/index.html and propose the use of vcpkg to install libraries for lacking headers.
  4. Thus, I guess we are missing some step in the installation process.

Please, should modify the triplet x86-windows.cmake? How? Should we create a new one? I don't even know for that triplet if we are working in a 64bits environment.

Please, should we install and configure CMake?

Sorry, I'm a bit lost. Thanks for your help!

Visua lStudio Installer->installed version->modify-> Language package->add English package, can resolve this problem

JackBoosY commented 2 years ago

Is this issue resolved?

IJkb commented 2 years ago

I am having a similar problem. "Could not locate a complete Visual Studio instance" although it is installed. I tried to use vcpkg to install catch2. English langauge package is already installed... Any other suggestions how to resolve this? I hope it is fine I write here, I think it is the same issue...

JackBoosY commented 2 years ago

@IJkb See https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg-tool/pull/314.

KevinShu-AEUST commented 2 years ago

I have the same problem, I use VS CODE to compile, but now there is a problem with installing the egin3 pakage.

JackBoosY commented 2 years ago

@KevinShu-AEUST Please see the required Visual Studio components in https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg-tool/pull/314.

KevinShu-AEUST commented 2 years ago

@KevinShu-AEUST請在microsoft/vcpkg-tool#314中查看需要的Visual Studio組件。

sorry,I don't understand the solution for this post.

I should to download pkg --mgr.exe 嗎？

@KevinShu-AEUST Sorry, I don't quite understand your question! Sorry, I don't know the relevant cmd commands very well, and I'm still researching.

S0PEX commented 2 years ago

Is there any solution to purely run vcpkg with the EWDK? Am not able to install VS on this machine and rely on CLion which works fine with EWDK and EWDK is sufficient to build all my projects so I would like to keep a static install out of this system.

Setting the ENV before running vcpkg doesn't work, but as far as I can tell the EWDK should have everything required to build the packages.

@S0PEX No, currently vcpkg needs Visual Studio core desktop features.

I found a solution for me installing the C++ visual studio toolchain onto my C drive worked though it doesn't work when I install Visual studio on my E drive.

JackBoosY commented 2 years ago

@nikinov Installing Visual Studio to a non-system disk doesn't affect vcpkg, maybe because of a problem with its environment variable settings.

You will need a full toolchain for the host triplet (for some binary host tools such pkgconf).

It's just a bug in Vcpkg itself, download new exe and it will work. So many users wasted time fixing own Visual Studio installation, while actual bug was on Microsoft side. image

removing trailing slash from VCPKG_VISUAL_STUDIO_PATH helps (so instead of E:\...\VS\ it becomes E:\...\VS) image

Instead I installed Visual Studio.

And during the installation process I selected as workload the "Desktop Development with C++". After reboot (recommended by installer) the issue was resolved for me.

To anyone who use VS installer which provided by VSCode: use the standard VS installer instead.

got fixed after downloading from within Visual Studio Installer 1st. Visual Studio Installer -> Desktop Development with C++ -> C++ CMake tools for Windows 2nd. Visual Studio Installer -> Universal Windows: Platform build tools

Download at least both otherwise other build errors emerge!
