Note that this is a recursive failure.

The problem seems to be in Cmake rather than vcpkg or 7-zip. I extracted 7z2409.7z to a tools directory with WinRAR, after which these installs ran successfully.

Can you tell me how to proceed, thanks? My 7z2409.7z file seems to be corrupted and cannot be extracted using the 7z tool, as the format is incorrect.

I successfully installed 7z.exe to the downloads/tools/7zip-24.09-windows directory. After that, move the files from the subdirectory to this directory.

Can anyone provide more specific steps to fix this? I tried copying files to downloads/tools/ but I must not be doing it right. I cannot get past this error

[mrhappyasthma]

Okay seems like I may have gotten it. The commands are running now for my build (hopefully successfully).

1. Open the file vcpkg\downloads\7z2409.7z.exe to run it on Windows and extract the install to somewhere (e.g. Desktop).

2. Create a new folder: vcpkg\downloads\tools\7zip-24.09-windows

3. Open the install folder from Step1 (e.g. Desktop/7-Zip) and copy all of the contents into the new folder from Step2 (vcpkg\downloads\tools\7zip-24.09-windows).

Then rerun your commands and it should hopefully go.

Sure, it is easy to work around this problem; but it should not exist in the first place. I reported it in hopes the maintainers would do something about that.
