Hello! Please, help me to build TDLib for Windows. I have an error on step:

$ ./vcpkg install gperf:x64-windows openssl:x64-windows zlib:x64-windows
Computing installation plan...
The following packages will be built and installed:
    gperf[core]:x64-windows -> 3.1#3
    openssl[core]:x64-windows -> 1.1.1m#2
  * vcpkg-cmake[core]:x64-windows -> 2022-01-19
  * vcpkg-cmake-config[core]:x64-windows -> 2022-02-06
    zlib[core]:x64-windows -> 1.2.11#13
Additional packages (*) will be modified to complete this operation.
Error: in triplet x64-windows: Unable to find a valid Visual Studio instance
Could not locate a complete Visual Studio instance
The following paths were examined for Visual Studio instances:
    D:\VisualStudio_Windows\VisualStudio\VC\Auxiliary/Build\vcvarsall.bat

I've installed VS community edition with EN lang and tools for C++. vcvarsall.bat exists, but in stdout above slash used instead of backslash also for some reason VC\Auxiliary/Build\vcvarsall.bat.

Did you face such a problem?

Slash and backslash are interchangeable on Windows, so this is not an issue.

But there is definitely an issue with MSVC installation, for example, shell wasn't reopened after relevant environment variables were changed. Anyway, you have issue with vcpkg and it is better to search for solution in https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/issues. For example, see issues 25986 and 22074 there.

Thanks! Installation VS on the system disk helped.

sorry for asking again, so your solution is basically installing the VS on local disk C????
