I followed the steps from Microsoft Docs to download the vcpkg repository, but when I try to install it using the bootstrap-vcpkg.bat file it says it can't find vcpkg.exe, am I sure I'm online ? I am.

    Hello @graham dearsley ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

    As a workaround, as the purpose is to download vcpkg.exe, you can directly download it from here: vcpkg-tool Release.
