Build of ANYTHING fails early on with "vcvarsall.bat returned 255" about vcpkg HOT 2 OPEN

cmd /d /c "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Enterprise\VC\Auxiliary/Build\vcvarsall.bat" -vcvars_ver=14.36.32532 amd64 2>&1 <NUL & echo cdARN4xjKueKScMy9C6H

One issue I see is the path - C:\Program Files (x86) is where Visual Studio 2019 and older reside as they were 32-bit (x86) programs. Visual Studio 2022 is 64-bit (x64) and should be found in C:\Program Files, that is unless the Visual Studio Installer was over-ridden to something other than the default when VS2022 was installed.

from vcpkg.

I have no control over the location of VS - I request it and it gets installed from a centralized package repository in our organisation. That being said, installation location should not be of importance, right? Otherwise, VS 2022 seems to work OK, even when being installed in a wrong folder.
