Installing completely broken with current vcpkg

Also opening an issue here, as it appears this action is now broken against current vcpkg master on windows-latest and windows-2019.

vcpkg tries to extract 7zip, using 7zip as it somehow can’t find tar.exe in windows\system32.

I’m looking for some temporary workaround, and some help escallating this issue with the Microsoft vcpkg project as it is slowing development on projects relying on vcpkg builds that need updates of their dependencies.

See https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/issues/23448

@rhuijben if this is still an outstanding problem let me know, we can reopen the issue. If you could also report what was the fix or the workaround, let us know!

@lukka This was a very bad $PATH issue on GitHub… Sorry I should have closed this issue earlier.

This script properly downloaded the new vcpkg+scripts, but then executed the old .exe with the new scripts… which broke things badly.

Workaround for me:

env:
   vcpkgExe: '${{ github.workspace }}/vcpkg/vcpkg.exe'

jobs:
  build:

    - name: Ensure Proj packages are available
      run: ${{env.vcpkgExe}} install "tiff[core]:x64-windows-static-md" "proj[core,tiff]:x64-windows-static-md" "tiff[core]:x86-windows-static-md" "proj[core,tiff]:x86-windows-static-md" "tiff[core]:arm64-windows-static-md" "proj[core,tiff]:arm64-windows-static-md"
