I'm using setenv.cmd, not vcvarsall.bat (because that's the advice I found in the scattered documents I found). I'm not even sure I have a vcvarsall.bat that I can call (the only working environment I currently have access to with a SDK installed is only accessible in a convoluted manner which makes investigation painful (appveyor, if you know the system) > If it's really the same issue: does any of the proposed patches help? I am still in the process of trying to get a usable local environment with the SDK installed. Once I do, I'll report back.
