Not able to build latest AWS SDK for C++ VS2022 x64

Question

The error is documented here: https://github.com/awsdocs/aws-doc-sdk-examples/issues/6290#issuecomment-2025765389

Story: I have previously used vcpkg to build the API libs.  But now I need to access the AWS appsync functionality. The API page for the appsync indicated it was introduced in a version later than I currently had. I tried vcpkg, but ran into a strange error (https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/issues/37805)

Stuck, I decided to just build the API from source.  Simple 5 step process, but it's not going well.

Accepted Answer

**I wasn't able to build the aws-sdk-cpp directly without errors, so I went back to vcpkg**.

**Lesson is that packages with Features can't be upgraded. Also, make sure to remove all related packages before attempting to install again.**
 
Won't work: PS C:\Dev\Couloir\3pLibs\vcpkg> ./vcpkg upgrade aws-sdk-cpp[apigateway,apigatewayv2,appsync,autoscaling,autoscaling-plans,budgets,core,dynamodb,ec2,email,glacier,iam,imagebuilder,lambda,lex,lex-models,location,logs,managedblockchain,pricing,rds,rds-data,s3,secretsmanager,sms,sns,sqs,translate,wellarchitected,xray]:x64-windows-static-md
**error: List of features is not allowed in this context**

**My updated procedure:**
UPDATE
1. Open Windows Powershell  
2. cd C:\Dev\Couloir\3pLibs\vcpkg
3. ./bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
4. git pull
5. ./vcpkg update   (to see what is out of date)
6. install or upgrade from PACKAGE LIST  (or all at once: ./vcpkg upgrade --no-dry-run)
---------------------
FIRST TIME
1. install 64 bit git (https://git-scm.com/download/win)
2. Open Windows Powershell
3. cd C:\Dev\Couloir\3pLibs
4. git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg
