[New-bugs-announce] [issue32928] _findvs failing on Windows 10 (Release build only)

[William Pickard]

New submission from William Pickard <lollol222gg at gmail.com>:

The distutils module _findvs is failing on my Windows 10 PRO machine with the following error: OSError: Error 80070002

Note: Building Python 3.6 in debug for some reason doesn't cause the error.
