If you’ve encountered the “link.exe not found” error while running “cargo install cargo-generate” , here’s how you can fix it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

TL;DR<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Installing “Build Tools for Visual Studio 2022” under “Desktop development with C++” resolved the error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Issue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You decided to explore Rust for controlling a Raspberry Pi Pico, and when you ran “cargo install cargo-generate,” you encountered the “linker ‘link.exe’ not found” error midway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After some investigation, I found a solution on a website. However, the instructions were for Visual Studio 2019, and the names and items differed. So, here’s a record of what worked for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/rust.design\/2020\/09\/05\/rust%E3%81%A7link-exe%E3%81%AE%E3%82%A8%E3%83%A9%E3%83%BC\/\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Download Build Tools for Visual Studio 2022<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Visit the Visual Studio download site.
Scroll down a bit and find “Build Tools for Visual Studio 2022” under “Tools for Visual Studio 2022.”
Download it from https:\/\/visualstudio.microsoft.com\/ja\/downloads\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Installation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  • Run vs_BuildTools.exe.<\/li>
  • Check the box for “Desktop development with C++.”<\/li>
  • Proceed with the installation.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Completion and Success<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Once the installation was complete, the process that was previously failing now worked without any issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
