New submission from Marc Schlaich <marc.schla...@googlemail.com>:
vshwere.exe doesn't return Build Tools 2017 per default. This means Build Tools 2017 are not detected by distutils in 3.7.2 and you get the famous "Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required" error. Please see https://github.com/Microsoft/vswhere/issues/125 for more details. The solution is to add "-products", "*", to the vswhere.exe call. This is a regression of https://bugs.python.org/issue35067. ---------- components: Distutils messages: 333312 nosy: dstufft, eric.araujo, schlamar, steve.dower priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: distutils cannot find Build Tools 2017 since 3.7.2 type: behavior versions: Python 3.7, Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35699> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
