The Powder Toy

Meson WinError 2's

    I'm having the same problem as this user, except that I'm using the x64 native prompt for VS 2022. Does it have to be VS 2019?

    I've tried installing "Desktop development with C++" and still get the slew of WinError's.

    The 2022 prompt should work, there is no need for 2019.

    But anyway, these errors imply that either you aren't running from the vs developer prompt, or your install is corrupted. Hard for me to say for sure what the problem is.

    Closing and reopening the prompt after the install worked (maybe it wasn't detecting something from that).

    Ah yeah, you have to close the prompt, it's basically just the standard prompt but with a VS environment script run when you open it, and if that script isn't run again, it's not guaranteed to see whatever new things you install.
