I’m building Wireshark master on Windows 11 and experiencing an error.
 
Some details of the build … and I can provide more if needed:
-- Selecting Windows SDK version 10.0.28000.0 to target Windows 10.0.26200.
-- The C compiler identification is MSVC 19.51.36244.0
 
 
CMake Warning:
  Manually-specified variables were not used by the project:
 
    USE_qt6
 
 
-- The following OPTIONAL packages have not been found:
 
* CpuInfo, CPU INFOrmation library, https://github.com/pytorch/cpuinfo/
   Detect information about host CPU, e.g., for performance optimization
 
 
The error:
    99>CustomBuild:
         The system cannot find the batch label specified - VCEnd
    99>C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\18\Community\MSBuild\Microsoft\VC\
       v180\Microsoft.CppCommon.targets(237,5): error MSB8066: Custom build for 'C
       :\Wireshark\builds\x64\master\CMakeFiles\a98377d28d711909e84a92bab36586c0\q
       tui_autogen.rule' exited with code 1. [C:\Wireshark\builds\x64\master\ui\qt
       \qtui_autogen.vcxproj]
 
I’m not seeing any such error on the Windows build jobs, such as https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/jobs/14900848879.  Is anyone else experiencing this or know what could be wrong?  I have tried wiping out the entire build directory and rebuilding everything from scratch.
 
Thanks.
- Chris
