Link.exe error

[smoky pier]

Do you have Visual Studio installed? https://rust-lang.github.io/rustup/installation/windows-msvc.html#manual-install

i had that installed i've been using rust for a week now but idk what happened

[rose crest]

Well it's not finding it for some reason. Maybe there's something in PATH that's also called link.exe.

[smoky pier]

nope checked

i don't understand how it was working fine previosly

when i created a seperate file in src and then executed cargo run then it crashed

[rose crest]

The error message coming from link says to run link --help but that's not a msvc link flag (it would say /help) so it must surely be some other program from somewhere

[smoky pier]

hmm rn i'm updating cargo after that i'll check that again

i got this error while running ```cargo install --force cargo

[rose crest]

yeah, that sounds like you're using mingw's link somehow. E.g. when I run mingw's link I get a similar error as you:

$ link
link: missing operand
Try 'link --help' for more information.

Whereas msvc link is completely different.

what should i do

i deleted visual studio
