[Scons-users] SCons 3.0.4 Bug - VSWhere.exe Hard-Coded Path (32-Bit Platforms)

[Bill Deegan]

Indeed.

The vswhere wiki does specify that it's Program Files on 32 bit installs of
windows and Program Files (x86) on 64 bit installs.
So our code is definitely incorrect, but I guess we've not had anyone
running 32bit windows install since using vswhere logic rolled out.
And so Bill will go build yet another VM to support testing Yet another
combination of Microsoft environments.. ;)
