I've installed Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition, with a lot of modules installed, just to be sure safe. And everything compiled just fine when we build it from visual studio.
However when compiling through a bat file, using cl fileName.cpp I get the following error:
Here is the relevant part of my setup.bat
And when I try and run
I get the following error
I've been stuck for hours on this one, could anyone point me in the right direction?
So far so good. Stuck on day one :D Only 500 days left. No, but really, I'm so excited about this series!

Either you're missing Windows.h in the Visual Studio directory, or you don't have access to it.
In the console after calling setup.bat, could you type "set" ?
It should print a list of your environment variables. In those there should be one called INCLUDE and it should look something like this:
If it does, could you look in one of those folder if there is a file called Windows.h (should be in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.16299.0\um ). If there isn't you may want to try reinstalling Visual Studio.
If the file is present, you may not have access to it. Close any program that might have a lock on the file. Try running your command prompt with administrator privilege (normally it's not necessary).
As a test, you might also try to copy the windows.h file in your code directory and change
But I wouldn't recommend that as a permanent solution (and since that file include other files it might not work).
Note that at least two peoples had issues recently with that error with files they have access to (here and here) but those file were not Visual Studio files.

I suspect OP simply doesn't have correct Windows SDK installed. There is no need to reinstall whole Visual Studio. Just run installer and check if you have "Windows 10 SDK (10.0.16299.0) for Desktop C++ [x86 and x64]" installed.
Thanks a bunch!
This is what was in my include when I typed in SET:
I then modified it to match the one you provided:
Only changed one version number, to match the one I have installed. Otherwise, all paths are valid, and windows.h do exist in the um folder.
And now when I run cl win32_handmade.cpp I get:
I'll continue to investigate and check out the posts you've linked. Thanks again for getting me closer.

You are probably right. I'll try and install that one instead :) https://jumpshare.com/v/wEuSEPGocSU9a2xSeEsx

No luck :/ Same error. It did get another default set INLCUDE - after running the vcvarsall x64 with the new SDK.
Which looks like this:
[Code]"INCLUDE=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.12.25827\ATLMFC\include;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.12.25827\include;"[/Code]
But no windows.h is located in any of those folders, and if I manually add the INCLUDE path to where windows.h is located, I get the cannot open file 'uuid.lib' again.

Try installing "Windows 8.1 SDK" and then running
1 | call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall" x64 8.1 |
Tried, That gave me:
Tried installing everything that sounded slightly relevant, but still get all of the above errors as before. Perhaps format c: would be a good command to run at this point^^

Did you install everything in default locations? I believe VS doesn't like when it is installed in custom location.
Do you maybe have bad anti-virus running in background that blocks something?
Can you check registry for folliwing values in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Micosoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows:
- does it have v10.0 with InstallationFolder key pointing to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10" ?
- does it have v8.1 with InstallationFolder key pointing to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1 ?
Do both of these folders contain "include\um" and "lib\VERSION\um\x64" folders?

- I have not installed anything at a custom location, have installed.
- Both keys looks good in regedit
- Tried disabling both windows firewall and virus protection - still same error ": fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'uuid.lib'"
- both "include\um" and "lib\VERSION\um\x64" exists in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\VERSION\
Do I have a bad vcvarsall.bat maybe?
Don't know if this might be relevant, but this is what my SET's looks like after running

and

Your PATH seems to be broken. It normally should contain C:\Windows and C:\Windows\System32 folders as minimum. And bunch more depending on what software you have installed.
Are you overriding it somewhere?
Not sure if this is relevant to your issue... it could be that vsvarsall.bat cannot find some tool because PATH is broken, that's why it ignores finding & setting up SDK folders.

Here is how it looks before running vcvarsall:
I could try and uninstall everything again, and see if get a visual studio 1015 installer. Maybe that will install and setup things properly.
If that doesn't work, then I'll do the right thing and format c: and install Linux Mint^^ Which I've been wanting to switch to for a while. Can't wait to see what sort of problems I'll have then hehe. I could always follow the series on a VirtualBox on Linux.

How does "d:\CTest" get into PATH? Its not there by default. And I don't think vsvarsall.bat is setting it. I'm guessing that somebody who is putting d:\ctest into PATH is dropping all the other values.
Not sure if this is an issue, but you have empty folder in PATH - two semicolons next to each other.

Oh god. That was it. I am so embarrasse! In my setup.bat, I was overriding the PATH.
1 2 3 | set PATH=d:\CTest; call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall" x64 cd /d d:\CTest\code |
I remember that I, to begin with, was overriding the path after calling vcvarsall, which gave an error when calling cl file.cpp. So I just moved the set path one line up, and though I've fixed the problem as it now sort of worked.
And I see now that I just forgot to add the %path% at the end.
Thank you so much for your help! Of course it was simply at the end. I should just have shared my entire setup.bat, to begin with^^ doh.
