Based on JIT compilation of a C# file and COM

This line should be if [ MATCH "(Microsoft Visual Studio[\/\\]2017)" : $(command) ], because they checking here path to Visual Studio

I know but with 2017 that string is not a part of the path. Only predictable string is 14.10

On my machine it's C:\bin\dev\VS\2017\BuildTools\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.10.24930\bin\HostX64\x64

I think this codepath only for default path to VS, check expression for VS2015 below for example

It's logic to deduce the VS version from a given path. 14.10 is the only stable path part (MSVC\14.10 at most).
There are other patterns in this block RE: line 965
VS2017 setup has been reworked extensively...

Maybe transfer functionality for debugging in a separate PR to speed up the merger of this PR?

refack · 2017-03-04T17:28:11Z

@KindDragon what debugging functionality specifically?

KindDragon · 2017-03-05T01:10:16Z

Ahh, your PR based on changes from 'debug' branch. I think you should remove this commits from your PR

refack · 2017-03-05T17:43:06Z

Branch base oops (debug and develop look too much alike for a dysxelic ;)

grafikrobot · 2017-03-05T17:48:38Z

General question.. From the other pulls/issues/emails.. Shouldn't the version number be "14.10" or "1410", i.e. not 15.0, nor 14.1, nor 141?

refack · 2017-03-05T17:49:33Z

👍 14.10

refack · 2017-03-05T17:51:32Z

@grafikrobot actually it has nuance, The "whole" Visual Studio suite will be version 15.0, but the C++ toolset will be 14.10

grafikrobot · 2017-03-05T17:55:34Z

@refack I wouldn't call that a nuance.. More like a total clusterf_ck on the part of Microsoft.

refack · 2017-03-05T17:58:17Z

For this project 15.0 is used only as an internal moniker, so can consider it a nuance.... 🤷

After installing VS2017 community I did:

C:\>cd DevRoots\Boost\build-refack\src\tools\vc141helper

C:\DevRoots\Boost\build-refack\src\tools\vc141helper>cl141_path.cmd
"COM Ok"

C:\DevRoots\Boost\build-refack\src\tools\vc141helper>

And as you can see it did not detect my install. Which is installed at the default location.

refack · 2017-03-10T13:34:26Z

@grafikrobot checking

refack · 2017-03-10T13:47:59Z

@grafikrobot can you gist the output of try_powershell.cmd just to make sure you have the VCTools "workload" installed.
Here's mine

grafikrobot · 2017-03-10T14:03:26Z

@refack Sure.. I posted it as a comment on your gist.

refack · 2017-03-10T19:13:07Z

@grafikrobot I tried to simplify the non C# part, and added some fallbacks.

Tested the last version of the patch with 2017 Enterprise. Works

One small step for me, kinda small step for Boost.build 🐱‍🚀
@grafikrobot much respect! 🥇

The officially supported vswhere tool is now available as part of the install starting today with Visual Studio 15.2 preview 2: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/heaths/2017/04/21/vswhere-is-now-installed-with-visual-studio-2017/. This doesn't fix all the existing installs of VS 2017 but going forward you can now detect the VS install locations and whether C++ tools are available from a scripted environment. I hope this helps your scenario.
