Visual Studio 2017: vcvars for toolset v140

Question

I installed Visual Studio 2017 and toolsets v140 and v141. To work with v140 toolset, I need to set the necessary environment via vc

Answer 1

The problem line is

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community>CALL "VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars64.bat" -vcvars_ver=14.16 10.0.18362.0

I just went to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build and found vcvars64.bat.

After studying it, I modified it like this

REM @call "%~dp0vcvarsall.bat" x64 %*
@call "%~dp0vcvarsall.bat" x64 

getting rid of the offending 14.16 10.0.18362.0 parameter. It worked. No messing up with the register.
