Doesn't look the issue with buildtool script. Can you check the vcpkg installation in you machine, if it is configured in classic mode ?

I do have vcpkg. I am going use these libraries in C++ projects on windows environment (Visual studio 2022). Could you please share the steps to install the libraries ?

@vahw have you tried to to use your local vcpkg which is probably out-of-date. You can simply try remove the path of you local vcpkg.exe from %PATH% then rerun the script tools\setup-buildtools.cmd.

Close it for now. Please reopen it if it happens again.
