Compiling with Visual Studio 2022

[inikulshin]

On May 22, 2024 Microsoft released new Windows SDK (https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/windows-sdk/)

After installing it I was unable to build win32/build.bat with Visual Studio 2019 and toolset v142:

libucrt.lib(checkcfg.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _guard_check_icall_$fo$

Enabling Visual Studio 2022 with toolset v143 in win32/common.vcxproj resolved the issue it for me:

  <!-- Visual Studio 2022 (17.0) -->
  <PropertyGroup Condition="'$(VisualStudioVersion)' == '17.0'">
    <PlatformToolset>v143</PlatformToolset>
  </PropertyGroup>

Visual Studio 2019 cannot build with new SDK and /guard:cf.

Either build with Visual Studio 2022 toolset or use older SDK 10.0.17763.0.

FYI: In my case for VS2022, I could not upgrade to the 143 toolset, but changing the project properties from Windows SDK Version = "10.0 (latest version)" to the prior version '10.0.22621.0" worked around the issue for now.
