Hi.

I set chcp to 437 and run MSBuild, but MSBuild reset to 65001.
How can I lock chcp to 437 during running time MSBuild?

I did type like this in cmd...

chcp 437
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\BuildTools\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe" /p:Configuration="Development" /p:Platform=Win64 C:\Project\Project.sln

and cmd output...

Microsoft (R) Build Engine version 16.7.0+b89cb5fde for .NET Framework
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

Building the projects in this solution one at a time. To enable parallel build, please add the "-m" switch.
Build started 4/2/2021 5:31:14 PM.
Project "C:\Project\ProjectER.sln" on node 1 (default targets).
ValidateSolutionConfiguration:
Building solution configuration "Development|Win64".
Project "C:\Project\Project.sln" (1) is building "C:\Project\Project.vcxproj" (2) on node 1 (default targets).
Build:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\chcp.com 65001 >NUL
......

How can I remove "C:\WINDOWS\System32\chcp.com 65001 >NUL" command?

Other PC don't execute chcp command. But my builder PC execute chcp during MSBuild running time.

Thanks.

    Hi js83,

    It seems to be set as default in your registry. You can go to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\Autorun], then confirm if it has been written in @chcp 65001>nul

    Best Regards, Dylan
