   System information VS version: VS2022(17.3.6)

   Your log mentions a different VS:

   0Studio\2019\Enterprise\Common7\Tools\VsDevCmd.bat" -host_arch=amd64 -arch=amd64

   Do you have some VS version installed simultaneously?

   You must ensure that Qt static library and the bitcoin.sln are been built with the same toolchain.

   the commit of Bitcoin we use is 5174a13

   What if you try the recent master branch?

   Also it would be useful to see a log after building with the -verbosity:diag command-line switch.

   After taking the above method, this error still exists.

   @fangzhouxia

   Mind posting some logs, not only errors?

   Mind providing more details, in particular mentioned in #26324 (comment)?

   Our CI follows https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/build_msvc/README.md, and builds Windows binaries just fine. So my guess is the problem is with your building environment. I doubt if we can help with no or little details which could at least help us to reproduce the issue.

   You must ensure that Qt static library and the bitcoin.sln are been built with the same toolchain.

   Could you try to re-build your Qt static library from scratch using VS2022?

    @fangzhouxia did the above work for you? Is this still an issue?
