Visual Studio 2013: Cl.Exe Exited with Code -1073741515

error: command 'C:\\ Visual Studio\\2017\\Community\\VC\\Tools\\MSVC\\14.14.
26428\\bin\\HostX86\\x64\\cl.exe' failed with exit status 2

There doesn't seem to be a valid solution for this error but one workaround is to install the windows binary package from https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#python-ldap

CSFML with VS Code and MSVC cl.exe LNK2019 error

So after many hours of trying to work it out and googling and stackoverflow and discord servers I finally managed to figure it out...

I found the correct commandline args and order but kept having issues as it wouldn't compile for 64 bit but would for x86/32 bit

Since I'm using MSVC the you have to launch VS Code using "Developer Command Prompt for VS 2019" and well turns out that that defaults to an x86 build environment which isn't said in any of the documentation but if u open "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019" instead and open code using that it works using the following tasks.json:

{
    "tasks": [
        {
            "type": "cppbuild",
            "label": "C/C++: cl.exe build active file",
            "command": "cl.exe",
            "args": [
                "/Zi",
                "/EHsc",
                "/I${fileDirname}/CSFML-2.5-windows-64-bit/include",
                "${fileDirname}\\CSFML-2.5-windows-64-bit\\lib\\msvc\\csfml-graphics.lib",
                "${file}",
                "/link",
                "/MACHINE:x64",
            ],
            "options": {
                "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}"
            },
            "problemMatcher": [
                "$msCompile"
            ],
            "group": {
                "kind": "build",
                "isDefault": true
            },
            "detail": "Task generated by Debugger."
        }
    ],
    "version": "2.0.0"
}

Cl.exe returing error code D8050

I had this issue with a cleared environment, and it was resolved (at least in part) by setting the TMP environment variable.
