[vcpkg-tool] fetch downloads 7-zip, ignores VCPKG_FORCE_SYSTEM_BINARIES

[demianmnave-pti]

Describe the bug vcpkg fetch 7zip downloads 7-zip even if the system version is sufficient, and even if 'VCPKG_FORCE_SYSTEM_BINARIES' is set.

Environment

• OS: Windows 10
• PowerShell Core 7.2.2

• Additional information (all executed from the same PoSH session): % $env:VCPKG_FORCE_SYSTEM_BINARIES

  1

  % 7z | grep 7-Z

  7-Zip 21.07 (x64) : Copyright (c) 1999-2021 Igor Pavlov : 2021-12-26

  % Set-Location C:\Dev\vcpkg\root.git && git rev-parse HEAD

  6704f4c7bb1c01eb901e6783198700e71890b29a

  % .\vcpkg.exe --version

  vcpkg package management program version 2022-07-21-a0e87e227afb536c62188c11ad029954f28fdb22

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Bootstrap vcpkg .
2. Execute ./vcpkg.exe fetch 7zip

   A suitable version of 7zip was not found (required v21.7.0). Downloading portable 7zip v21.7.0... Downloading 7zip... https://www.7-zip.org/a/7z2107-extra.7z -> \downloads\7z2107-extra.7z Extracting 7zip...

   \downloads\tools\7zip-21.07-windows\7za.exe

Expected behavior vcpkg fetch 7zip finds the installed version of 7-zip.

Failure logs

• N/A

Additional context ToolCacheImpl (src/vcpkg/tools.cpp) has no way of finding tools defined in vcpkgTools.xml unless there is a corresponding implementation of ToolProvider.

Is there any update or branch for this issue?

I have some DNS issues when downloading 7zip, which can be related to my provider restrictions. This host doesn't work for me and fails with ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED. error: https://www.7-zip.org/a/7z2301-extra.7z: WinHttpSendRequest failed with exit code 12007

Nevertheless, I have the latest 7zip installed 23.1 in my build pipeline, but it still fails. How to override the 7zip URL or binary location? I tried to set VCPKG_FORCE_SYSTEM_BINARIES and it doesn't change anything
