You need to install one of the Vulkan SDKs?

@Yurichtofen do you have the Vulkan SDK installed? Seems like this port requires it. The fix seems pretty straight forward.

Though that this would be handled via VCPKG automatically, alright.

Though that this would be handled via VCPKG automatically, alright.

Some software SDK packages such as ATLMFC, CUDA, CUDNN, Vulkan and others require the developer to download and install the SDK prior to adding the port to vcpkg due to licensing restrictions. These SDKs are basically an empty port serving as a pointer to the physical location for other ports and their features.

Currently the vulkan port just checks that you have the Vulkan SDK installed. I thought it was a bit confusing initially as well.

I have the same problem. My solution is sudo run in Administrator.
