[Scons-users] Win7 + MSVS2019 fails to create environment....

[Bill Deegan]

you'll need to do the what Joseph suggests before SCons attempts to
initialize msvc.
So

DefaultEnvironment(tools=[])
Then  whatever Environment()'s your using will also have to set
VSCMD_SKIP_SENDTELEMETRY before they initialize msvc.

Or you can just pull those code changes into your 3.1.2.
That said, if possible just move to latest SCons.
