Can't find Visual Studio 2022 Community with v10.0.1

[paranoidPhantom]

Was attempting to build my Electron app for production and after some research ran this command.

npx node-gyp configure --msvs_version=2022 --loglevel silly

And got this:

(it seems the bug is at lib/find-visualstudio.js:153:21)

gyp info it worked if it ends with ok

I've checked the logs provided.

1. In the issue description we can see:

gyp sill find VS PS stderr = "Add-Type : Cannot add type.

Based on this, it seems that running Add-Type is an issue. To use it, you need to be in the FullLanguage language mode in PS, so can you please check your language mode (run $ExecutionContext.SessionState.LanguageMode in PS) and make sure it has the required value?

2. The issue in the comment is not the same, but it is connected to Visual Studio checks. In that one, Add-Type is able to run, and we find both VS2022 and VS2019, but Windows SDK is missing in both

Installing Windows SDK in any of those VSs should resolve the issue.

[7999]

@StefanStojanovic
thanks for your reply.
but you said the two issue, they are already met.
1

2 in Registry, it shows there already installed Windows SDK

[StefanStojanovic]

@7999 Thanks for your reply. In your case language mode was not an issue, so it makes sense that for you it was set to FullLanguage.

Regarding the Windows SDKs, they should be installed through Visual Studio Installer. Can you please start your Visual Studio Installer, then choose Modify (you can do this check for both VS2019 and VS2022), then in Installation details expand Desktop development with C++ and see if any Windows SDK is checked? e.g.

[7999]

@StefanStojanovic
in my computer, I only installed VS 2022 and VS Build Tools 2019, no VS2019.
detail:

[StefanStojanovic]

Hmm, and the silly level log is still like this?

[7999]

@StefanStojanovic
I was busy on other work recently, and maybe the development environment updated during the time, so I need to check again, but i need some time

[kstojanovski-novatec]

Do you have any workaround for this situation?
-> Installing SDK 10 manually helped me out of this situation.

[7999]

@kstojanovski-novatec
thanks a lot, it also works for me

[prisis]

Thank you @kstojanovski-novatec , this works

[StefanStojanovic]

I'm glad to see that this workaround works for multiple users now. Closing the issue.
