I have visual studio 2022 and 2015 installed.
When I run
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86 10.0.22621.0
The path is set to include C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x86
However, that path doesn't include the binaries.
They are in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.22621.0
I thought vcvarsall.bat would select the right version since I passed it on the command line. What's preventing the correct folder from being added to the PATH?
Thank you.

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.
Where did you check the PATH(C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x86)?
Will the PATH change to other directory like C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x64, if you use optional argument x64(just for test)?
Did you also run
setcommand to check and confirm the configurations? -

2024-03-15T13:44:07.63+00:00 I'm not completely sure what you mean by "Where did you check the PATH(C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x86)?" I checked the value of PATH in the command shell started with Developer Command Prompt for VS 2015. I also checked it in the same prompt after running "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" with and without parameters. It's my understanding that without parameters it should use all the appropriate defaults. This is how it works when using the 2022 version of the Developer Command Prompt.
Here is some of what I see running set after running vcvarsall.bat:
VCINSTALLDIR=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\VisualStudioVersion=14.0
VS140COMNTOOLS=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\Tools\
VSINSTALLDIR=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\
windir=C:\windows
WindowsLibPath=C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\UnionMetadata;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\References
WindowsSdkDir=C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\
WindowsSDKLibVersion=10.0.22621.0\
WindowsSDKVersion=10.0.22621.0\
WindowsSDK_ExecutablePath_x64=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\bin\NETFX 4.6.1 Tools\x64\
WindowsSDK_ExecutablePath_x86=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\bin\NETFX 4.6.1 Tools\
Here is the path:
PATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TestWindow;C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\BIN;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\Tools;C:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\VCPackages;C:\Program Files (x86)\HTML Help Workshop;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Team Tools\Performance Tools;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x86;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\bin\NETFX 4.6.1 Tools;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TestWindow;C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\BIN;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\Tools;C:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\VCPackages;C:\Program Files (x86)\HTML Help Workshop;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Team Tools\Performance Tools;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x86;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\bin\NETFX 4.6.1 Tools;C:\windows\system32;C:\windows;C:\windows\System32\Wbem;C:\windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;C:\windows\System32\OpenSSH;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Windows Performance Toolkit;C:\Go\bin;C:\Python24;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\130\Tools\Binn;C:\Program Files\dotnet\Additional info:
I installed Visual Studio 2022 before installing Visual Studio 2015.
Yesterday, I installed Windows SDK version 10.0.10586.212 because it was a required dependency for building the code I inherited. This added the missing files to C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x86 and uuidgen.exe was now available on the path when using the 2015 Dev Prompt.
However, an executable that is available when I manually execute it is now showing as missing when the SCons build happens for the repo. The tool is csc.exe.The build needs to be done at the command prompt using a batch file provided by the project (github repository I cloned and is a fork of https://github.com/google/omaha version 3)
You can see the instructions for developer setup at https://github.com/google/omaha/blob/v1.3.33.7/doc/DeveloperSetupGuide.md
