 ### Install or remove vcpkg ports 
 You can install or remove  ports from the vcpkg installation in `C:/robotology/vcpkg` as you do for any other vcpkg installation.
 
-However, as this  vcpkg installation contains some ports installed  from the custom port repo contained in `C:/robotology/vcpkg`, 
-due to a regression in vcpkg (see https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/issues/10119) you need to pass the `--overlay-ports=C:/robotology/robotology-vcpkg-binary-ports` argument whenever you use vcpkg.

-For example, to install a new port called `<portname>` the correct command is:
-~~~
-./vcpkg.exe install --overlay-ports=C:/robotology/robotology-vcpkg-binary-ports <portname>:x64-windows
-~~~
