No 64bit compiler in the 7.1 Windows SDK?

I get this very weird error:

    The x64 compilers are not currently installed.
    Please go to Add/Remove Programs to update your installation.

Details: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/ionelmc/python-lazy-object-proxy/build/37/job/a1apjwq2wlfp9cxc#L82

I haven't got this problem in the previous builds, seems like something changed on the appveyor side.

Any ideas about what's going on?

    Will take a look. There was Visual Studio 2010 SP1 installed. Not sure how it affected SDK 7.1, but it seems it did.

    When it says "Please go to Add/Remove Programs..." - does it mean upsating SDK 7.1?

    You can install the 7.1 SDK SP1 to fix this I think:

    More evidence that installing SP1 for the 7.1 SDK is the "fix":

    Yeah, thanks. We've installed that update and indeed compilers are back in expected locations. Will deploy new images today.

    It's all set. Worker images have been updated - C++ compilers restored. Let me know how it goes.
