Can't install buidltools2019 with chocolatey inside container about windows-containers

[snpefk]

Hi,

Thanks for your effort. I will check how building on ltsc2022 and with added flag works and report back.

Hi, @snpefk are you seeing a specific error?

Can you also confirm if you see this issue with Windows Server 2022? We currently do not fix OS issues for WS 2019 since we're past mainstream support (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/windows-server-2019).

Hi,

We no longer support Windows Server 2019 but LLVM 16 is compatible with Windows Server 2022. I simulated your Dockerfile with the more recent versions and it installed Visual Studio 2022 Build Tools successfully. Here's the updated Dockerfile:

# escape=`

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:ltsc2022

# Workaround to build image
# See. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76470752/chocolatey-installation-in-docker-started-to-fail-restart-due-to-net-framework
ENV chocolateyVersion=2.2.2

# Set the shell to PowerShell
SHELL ["powershell", "-Command", "$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'; $ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue';"]

# Install Chocolatey - a package manager for Windows
RUN Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force;  `
    [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072;  `
    iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://community.chocolatey.org/install.ps1'));

# Install build dependencies using Chocolatey
RUN choco install cmake --installargs 'ADD_CMAKE_TO_PATH=User' -y; `
    choco install ninja -y; `
    choco install git -y; `
    choco install python3 --version=3.12.0 -y; `
    # ⬇️ Add yes flag so agrees to installation automatically
    choco install visualstudio2022buildtools --allWorkloads --includeRecommended --includeOptional --passive -y; 

I started up the container and confirmed that Visual Studio 2022 Build Tools was installed by doing the following:

$> & 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\BuildTools\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe' -version

@snpefk Let me know if something wasn't installed in the container properly. Otherwise, I'll close this Issue for now as everything works with '22.
