Please provide more information, for example, operating system, rust version, cargo-xwin version and steps to reproduce the issue.

so i have been trying to debug this and have found that:
ureq = { version = "2.5.0", default-features = false, features = ["json"] }

seems to be using ring, so i have disabled default features.
now another error arises.

error: linker `link.exe` not found                                                                                                                                               |                                                                                                                                                                              = note: No such file or directory (os error 2)                                                                                                                               

note: the msvc targets depend on the msvc linker but `link.exe` was not found

note: please ensure that VS 2013, VS 2015, VS 2017, VS 2019 or VS 2022 was installed with the Visual C++ option

error: could not compile `sysinfo` due to previous error

Your reproduce steps are too complex and not complete, a minimal reproducible git repository would be much more helpful.

i cannot really do this due to the project being private, you can see my docker file and project toml which is being compiled inside of the docker file is there anything in the edited dockerfile which is missing, or any packages which would causes link.exe error?

[messense]

I don't see anything obviously, you need to dig deeper. link.exe isn't required by cargo-xwin because we use lld-link.

not sure why link.exe is attempting to be called then, do you know any reason from the top of your head?
