Hello
It seems that the environment does not contain the VS150COMNTOOLS variable pointing at the VS2017 tools

VS100COMNTOOLS=c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\Tools\
VS110COMNTOOLS=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\Tools\
VS120COMNTOOLS=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\Tools\
VS140COMNTOOLS=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\Tools\
VS90COMNTOOLS=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\Tools\

Did I miss something?

   Can you add this setup to the worker environement

   set VS150COMNTOOLS=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\Tools\

   It looks like starting from VS 2017 this variable is not set by default any more and looks like a preferable way going forward is running VS 2017 Command Line script during the build, like this:

   install:
   - "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\Tools\VsDevCmd.bat"
   

   After running this batch I've got VS150COMNTOOLS environment variable set as expected: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/FeodorFitsner/simple-console/build/...

   Hope that helps.

   Hi
   Can you give back the DOS 8.3 path of

   C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\Tools\VsDevCmd.bat
   

   on a Visual Studio 2017 image

   Thx
