Run vcvarsall.bat to get Visual Studio env failed

[atraczyk]

I am unable to build x64 packages with:

• Visual Studio 2019 16.11.13
• installed with toolsets v141, v142 (x86 & x64) + Windows 10 SDKs 10.0.16299 and 10.0.20348
• additional components

Packages build correctly on 2 other machines with Visual Studio 2019 16.11.11(with the same toolsets + SDKs, and additional components).

Environment

• OS: Windows 10 10.0.19043
• Compiler: 14.29.30133

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. ./vcpkg install libusb-win32:x64-windows --debug
2. Fails with Run vcvarsall.bat to get Visual Studio env failed with exit code -1073740791

Expected behavior The package should build successfully.

Is there a way to increase the verbosity of the logs?

What's the result when you execute the following command in a new cmd window?

 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Auxiliary/Build\vcvarsall.bat" -vcvars_ver=14.2 amd64
  cl /Bv

If you still get the same error, please add set VSCMD_DEBUG=3 and run the below command: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Auxiliary/Build\vcvarsall.bat" -vcvars_ver=14.2 amd64 > log.log

Then send the log.log to me. Thank you!

@Cheney-W Here's the output of cl /Bv after having run "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Auxiliary/Build\vcvarsall.bat" -vcvars_ver=14.2 amd64:

And here's the log from the vcvarsall line using VSCMD_DEBUG=3: log.log

Thanks

It looks like this issue cannot be reproduced with the command alone. Does this issue still occur when you clone a new vcpkg?

[atraczyk]

Yes. I've attempted a thorough clean of vcpkg references on my system. I get the same results. Perhaps there is some subtle breakage in my Visual Studio installation?

[Cheney-W]

Generally speaking, if vcvarsall.bat can run successfully on the ordinary cmd, it will not be a problem with the installation. But to be on the safe side, I think you can reinstall your Visual Studio. Also, I looked up the error return value online and it says it's a memory issue, is it possible that other software, like antivirus software or something, is causing this problem?

[atraczyk]

I'm not sure, but it is new and definitely related to some element present on the specific machine in question. I tried a reinstall but that didn't work. I bet there's a cache that's not cleared when uninstalling also. I'm gonna install VS 2022 and see what happens.

[atraczyk]

I searched for tickets related to:

[DEBUG] D:\a\_work\1\s\src\vcpkg\base\system.process.cpp(702):

and found https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/issues/13890, so I checked HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\AutoRun and I found "C:\Program Files (x86)\clink\0.4.9\clink.bat" inject --autorun --profile ~\clink. After removing that, everything works as expected.

[Cheney-W]

Thanks for your reply! I'm glad to know this issue has been solved.

[atraczyk]

@Cheney-W Thanks for your help and time!
