Terry J. Reedy added the comment: I have recent gotten WARN: ucrtbased contains known issues. Please update Visual Studio or the Windows SDK. See: http://bugs.python.org/issue26624 F:\Python\dev\36\PCbuild\python.vcxproj(91,5): warning MSB3073: The command ""F:\Python\dev\36\PCBuild\win32\python_d.exe" "F:\Python\dev\36\PC\validate_ucrtbase.py" ucrtbased" exited with code 1.
but Python still ran for me. Today, I recompiled, and python stopped running when I try to either run IDLE or patchcheck. To eliminate the old .dll as a cause, I tried to 'update'. How to do so? I started VS by double clicking pcbuild/python.vcxproj. The first barrier was that Community 2015 is only good for 30 days (the compiler invoked by build.bat still ran) and I could not access the menu. Once I got the license renewed, so VS ran, there is no Update entry on Help or anywhere else on the menu that I could find. (I seem to remember that VC Express updated automatically.) When I started VS2015 from the start menu instead, there was a splash screen with News and a link to a brand new Update 3. https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/visualstudio/2016/06/27/visual-studio-2015-update-3-and-net-core-1-0-available-now/ I clicked the first link and downloaded vs2015.3.exe. ran it, and left the minimal selection of components alone. After 3 GB downloaded and installed, there are error messages that *cannot* be copied and pasted. Here is a summary: 1. VS update prereq: Installer failed. bad hash 0x80091007 (did this mess up everything?) 2. Team J. Serv CTP! SToryboarding Pack file not found 0x80070002 (This does not seem like something I requested.) 3. VC++IDE base resource package ditto as to error. (Perhaps not needed for build.bat) Log file attached. I will restart and see what happens. ---------- nosy: +terry.reedy Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file43615/dd_vs_community_20160702172149.log _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26624> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
