Bug 18098 – Issues with path to VS2017 x64 linker in sc.ini [Environment64] AFTER pull 227

sc.ini [Environment64]: the installer detects VS 2017 (%VCINSTALLDIR%, L47) correctly but (L54) sets: LINKCMD=%VCINSTALLDIR%\bin\HostX86\x86\link.exe In my scenario (see bellow) this leads to following error: fatal error C1905: Front end and back end not compatible (must target same processor). LINK : fatal error LNK1257: code generation failed Error: linker exited with status 1257 dmd failed with exit code 1257. The error does not occur when sc.ini L54 is changed to: LINKCMD=%VCINSTALLDIR%\bin\HostX86\x64\link.exe or LINKCMD=%VCINSTALLDIR%\bin\HostX64\x64\link.exe I assume that the path variable set at L62 should be change correspondingly, but had no issues with it so far. My scenario is a mixed c++/s project. I am linking to a c++ static library which I build myself with VS2017 for x64 (https://github.com/ocornut/imgui).
