Hmmm what could that be...

Well a few things to get straight first:
1. What versions of Visual Studio do you have installed?
2. Which version do you use normally?
3. Do you setup the environment variables yourself before your run the script? (i.e. Do you run vcvarsall.bat or whatever the batch file is for your version before running buildsuper?)
4. Just to be sure, is this the 64bit version?

1/2. Visual Studio 2017
3. Just buildsuper.bat
4. 64-bit

It seems "manually" calling vcvarsall.bat before running buildsuper.bat fixes this.

Hmm okay. The script tries to figure out which visual studio version to use and initializes it, but it may not have 2017 in it's list or something. Thanks for taking a look at that, I'll try to fix it in the next build.
