SOLVED YYC - Attempting to run the game deletes Visual Studio batch file

[Phoebe Klim]

Hey all,

Attempting to run the game with YYC fails with this in the Output:

System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException: The given key was not present in the dictionary.
at System.ThrowHelper.ThrowKeyNotFoundException()
at GMAssetCompiler.Output.LLVM_Windows.(String , Dictionary`2 )
at GMAssetCompiler.Output.LLVM_Windows..ctor()
at ..()
at ..(GMAssets , String )
at GMAssetCompiler.Program.(GMAssets )
at GMAssetCompiler.Program.(String[] )
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXCEPTION FILE - C:\Users\PC\AppData\Local\Temp\6a6ee2bd23c0455ab0dccb5f7041e7e8.yyg.saencryptedreport
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the same time as the message pops-up, that required batch file (vcvars32.bat) disappears.
If I try to run the game again, I get this:

Configuration Problem: Windows Visual Studio Path needs to be set to point to Visual Studio (.bat) batch file.

Which makes sense because batch file does not exist anymore.

I tried repairing and reinstalling Visual Studio 2017 and GameMaker Studio 2, restarting the computer, and clearing the cache. I have no more ideas.

This is happening since I have upgraded my OS to Windows 10.

I remembered to look for a guide to making a fresh install, and it helped, the problem is solved.

Nevermind, I didn't run the game in YYC.

Turns out Avast antivirus was moving vcvars32.bat (visual studio environment .bat) into the virus chest for some reason, every time I compiled in YYC. Restored and added to exceptions, and problem solved!
