WindowsKernelModeDriver8.1 not there anymore?
Hello All,
I have a integration with the openvswitch and appveyor with logs here:
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/blp/ovs/history
Today, our kernel module builds started failing with errors of the following form:
"The build tools for WindowsKernelModeDriver8.1 (Platform Toolset = 'WindowsKernelModeDriver8.1') cannot be found"
This was not a problem before. The build tools was added a few months before as part of the following request:
http://help.appveyor.com/discussions/suggestions/553-request-wdk-81-update
Was this support removed recently?

Hi Guru,
Visual Studio 2013 Update 5 was deployed yesterday. Maybe WDK was affected by that... will take a look.
In the meantime you may want to peek into VM via RDP and confirm that: http://www.appveyor.com/docs/how-to/rdp-to-build-worker

Oh, looks like WDK was indeed wiped out during VS 2013 update. You never know!
I'm going to fix that today and deploy updated image.
