When running .\vcbuild.bat in PowerShell the file is stopping execution after calling python configure %configure_flags% even if python configure exits with a status of 0. Because the commands after python configure %configure_flags% are never called you don't finish building and thus never get a out or release folder with node.exe in it.
I am currently developing on Windows 10 and it looks like using call python configure %configure_flags% allows batch to continue after the python subroutine is finished

I do not think this is required. When I run .\vcbuild.bat from PowerShell, it executes normally and finishes the build. Are you sure this is not some problem with your local setup?

Could be... Adding a video just to show that without the call python it doesn't continue execution after calling python. I am currently using pyenv for windows to manage my python versions. Going to see if maybe that's the problem. I'll also paste below some of the specs of my local setup

OS: Windows 10
Python: 3.13.2
PowerShell: 5.1.19041.6328
Additionally I am not using python that you get from the Microsoft Store like it says in BUILDING.MD but am using pyenv for windows to manage python versions.
