Hi, I can investigate but if it's just a vm how about upgrading. Regarding Windows 7 it's eol and we cant practically support it. To rebuild kshimgen call craft -i --no-cache kshimgen and then reinstall cmake etc.
After a longer break without updating the craft root I'd also recommend to start fresh. If it's a dependency issue you could investigate by using dependenciesgui on a generated Shim wich is installed by the dependencies blueprint. Cheers, Hannah Sent from my iPhone > On 31.
