I have installed Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017 on Windows 10. When I open the Developer Command Prompt for VS 2017, I get the following error:


**********************************************************************
** Visual Studio 2017 Developer Command Prompt v15.0
** Copyright (c) 2017 Microsoft Corporation
**********************************************************************
[ERROR:VsDevCmd.bat] Script "vsdevcmd\ext\Invalid" could not be found.
[ERROR:VsDevCmd.bat] *** VsDevCmd.bat encountered errors. Environment may be incomplete and/or incorrect. ***
[ERROR:VsDevCmd.bat] In an uninitialized command prompt, please 'set VSCMD_DEBUG=[value]' and then re-run
[ERROR:VsDevCmd.bat] vsdevcmd.bat [args] for additional details.
[ERROR:VsDevCmd.bat] Where [value] is:
[ERROR:VsDevCmd.bat] 1 : basic debug logging
[ERROR:VsDevCmd.bat] 2 : detailed debug logging
[ERROR:VsDevCmd.bat] 3 : trace level logging. Redirection of output to a file when using this level is recommended.
[ERROR:VsDevCmd.bat] Example: set VSCMD_DEBUG=3
[ERROR:VsDevCmd.bat] vsdevcmd.bat > vsdevcmd.trace.txt 2>&1

So I did `set VSCMD_DEBUG=2` and ran `vsdevcmd.bat > vsdecmd.trace.txt 2>&1`. The following is the dump from there:
