I have a integration with the openvswitch and appveyor with logs
here: <a href="https://ci.appveyor.com/project/blp/ovs/history">https://ci.appveyor.com/project/blp/ovs/history</a></p>
<p>Today, our kernel module builds started failing with errors of
the following form:<br>
"The build tools for WindowsKernelModeDriver8.1 (Platform Toolset =
'WindowsKernelModeDriver8.1') cannot be found"</p>
<p>This was not a problem before. The build tools was added a few
months before as part of the following request:<br>
<a href="http://help.appveyor.com/discussions/suggestions/553-request-wdk-81-update">
http://help.appveyor.com/discussions/suggestions/553-request-wdk-81...</a></p>
<p>Was this support removed recently?</p></div>Guru Shettytag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/374530972015-07-22T17:46:18Z2015-07-22T17:46:18ZWindowsKernelModeDriver8.1 not there anymore?<div><p>Hi Guru,</p>
<p>Visual Studio 2013 Update 5 was deployed yesterday. Maybe WDK
was affected by that... will take a look.</p>
<p>In the meantime you may want to peek into VM via RDP and confirm
that: <a href="http://www.appveyor.com/docs/how-to/rdp-to-build-worker">http://www.appveyor.com/docs/how-to/rdp-to-build-worker</a></p></div>Feodor Fitsnertag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/374530972015-07-22T17:56:30Z2015-07-22T17:56:30ZWindowsKernelModeDriver8.1 not there anymore?<div><p>Oh, looks like WDK was indeed wiped out during VS 2013 update.
You never know!</p>
<p>I'm going to fix that today and deploy updated image.</p></div>Feodor Fitsnertag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/374530972015-07-23T04:57:02Z2015-07-23T04:57:02ZWindowsKernelModeDriver8.1 not there anymore?<div><p>WDK is back!</p>
