have you tried installing cmake

#

and putting the bin/ folder on your path

#

also try running vcpkg from another shell

#

powershell, windows command prompt, visual developper command prompt...

#

git bash emulates a unix-like environment and comes with common command line utilities which might differ from what vcpkg expects, thereby causing your error

this one complains about Visual Studio, not VSCode

#

just install a CMake redist binary from kitware's website

#

https://cmake.org/download/

Download CMake

You can either download binaries or source code archives for the latest stable or previous release or access the current development (aka nightly) distribution through Git. This software may not be exported in violation of any U.S. export laws or regulations. For more information regarding Export Control matters please go to https://www.kitware...

#

then the error you got is concerning Pepe_hmm

#

regardless, once you install the binary it will be fine

#

yeah that's understandable lol

#

setting up a dev environment on Windows and working with Windows itself from C++ code are the two single most painful (ongoing) experiences I've had, thanks Microsoft
