The AppVeyor build has been failing for some time now.

I don't think this is related to my work on removing static variables
from various opcodes, which now builds and passes tests locally on
Linux for me.

The error seems rather to be in the build configuration:


cho "Redistributable runtime libraries:"
"Redistributable runtime libraries:"
dir /B /S "%VCREDIST_CRT_DIR%"
The system cannot find the path specified.
Command exited with code 1
APPVEYOR_SAVE_CACHE_ON_ERROR is set to 'true' - cache will be updated
Updating build cache...
Cache 'C:\Tools\vcpkg' - Calculating dependencies checksum...Error
calculating dependencies CRC for C:\Tools\vcpkg: Error calculating
CRC32 for C:\projects\csound\msvc\downloadDependencies.ps1: The system
cannot find the path specified
Cache entry not found: C:\projects\csound\msvc\cache

I will look at appveyor.yaml and the AppVeyor host configuration...

Mike

Could save time using pre-built CsoundQt; HDF5 opcodes will likely
break if cache is cleared as 1.8.19 is no longer available from FTP
(as found in downloadDependencies.ps1).

I have updated the directories for the MSVC redistributables that we
pack into our installer. The build is now moving past where it used to
fail.
