fxc.exe not found by VS2017 in windows 10

Question

I'm going to use the HelixToolkit.SharpDX with VS2017 in my Windows 10 workstation, when I attempt to build the solution, it will prompt the Assertion Failed error with "No fxc.exe found".

I have checked the installation option, Windows SDK has been included, nand I have downloaded and install again, and I can see the fxc.exe in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.16299.0\x64" & "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.16299.0\x86" folders, so it should be available for any windows version, but unfortunately, the same error reported.

However, I have also installed VS2017 in another Windows 7 machine, it works fine, and it has the fxc.exe in the same folder as my Windows 10 workstation, but it can be located by VS2017.

Is there any setting in VS2017 to locate the fxc.exe? Or how can I fix this issue?

Answer 1

Copy fxc.exe in Bin\10.0.xxx\x86 to Bin\x86 to fix this issue. Because the HLSL compile tool hard coded the path.
