vcpkg integrate install: wrong path separator

[Snoop05]

C:\src\vcpkg>vcpkg integrate install
Error: Failed to copy file: C:\src\vcpkg\scripts\buildsystems\tmp\vcpkg.user.targets -> C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\vcpkg/vcpkg.user.targets

• OS: Windows 10 x64 build 19044.1415
• Compiler: VS 2022 v17.0.4 / MSVC v143
• Vcpkg package management program version 2021-12-09-724cea8b33cbf06c645f5095fa29773697da9761

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. vcpkg integrate install
2. See error

Expected behavior:
Use backslash for paths on Windows, provide instuctions of everyhing this thing wants to do when its inadept to do so instead of bailing out on first failure

I was just about to submit this issue as I'm having the same problem.

PS C:\dev\vcpkg\> vcpkg.exe integrate install
Error: Failed to copy file: C:\dev\vcpkg\vcpkg\scripts\buildsystems\tmp\vcpkg.user.targets -> C:\Users\helpdesk\AppData\Local\vcpkg/vcpkg.user.targets

Same problem here, I cannot install vcpkg

Workaround:
./vcpkg.exe integrate install also does not work. However, adding the git repo directory to the Windows path does make vcpkg.exe integrate install work.

Same issue here. Fresh Win 11 dev VM from MS with VS2022 and latest MSVC143.

I get vcpkg clean source and couldn't repro this issue locally.

Can any one confirm that whether C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\vcpkg exist?

Thanks.

Can any one confirm that whether C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\vcpkg exist?

Thanks.

C:\Users%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\vcpkg did not exist for me. Manually created the directory and was able to run vcpkg integrate install successfully:

C:\vcpkg>mkdir C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\vcpkg
C:\vcpkg>vcpkg integrate install
