I try to compile the Wireshark source code in my Windows 10 PC, with
Visual Studio community 2015
QT 5.6.3
Cygwin
Python
Cmake
(https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdghtmlchunked/ChSetupWin32.html#ChSetupPrepareCommandCom)
I setup the environment as (chapter 2.2.9 in the above web page)
When I try to compile it with
cmake -DENABLE_CHM_GUIDES=on -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" ..\wireshark
It is failed like that:
cmake -DENABLE_CHM_GUIDES=on -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" ..\wireshark

Failed to run MSBuild command: but I checked there is "msbuild.exe" in the correct PATH/Folder.
You don't indicate the CMake version you're using, but from the output line
Project "C:\Users\Me\DDisk\FWork\WireShark\wsbuild64\CMakeFiles\3.10.0\VCTargetsPath.vcxproj" on node 1 (default targets).it would appear to be CMake 3.10.0, i.e. the brand new version and as myself and all the build slaves are still building with older versions of CMake, this might be the cause. Can you try using CMake 3.9.x?Hi grahamb, Thank you very much. I just remove my cmake 3.10.0, and install cmake 3.9.6, like:
CMake suite maintained and supported by Kitware (kitware.com/cmake).
and then, run the same command, get the same error (CRY:)

(more)I found it was from windows SDK issue, windows SDK 8.1 is not installed in my PC, so that is it.
Of course, after solving the issue, I have another issue for the compiling. (It is still not completed), I am still struggling with it, but I am going to create another ticket for the problem. Thank you all.
I have my windows sdk 8.1 installed. but still i get the same error. Why?
