Hi,
I just tried to install ROOT 6.26/00 from here, file root_v6.26.00.win32.vc16.exe

I try to run ROOT and I get

RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\$VERSION\InstallationFolder): returned 2: The system cannot find the file specified.
RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Kits\Installed Roots\KitsRoot10): returned 2: The system cannot find the file specified.
input_line_1:1:10: fatal error: 'new' file not found
#include <new>
         ^~~~~
Assertion failed: OldBuilder->DeferredDeclsToEmit.empty() && "Should have emitted all decls deferred to emit.", file C:\build\ws\BUILDTYPE\Release\LABEL\windows10\V\6-26\root\interpreter\llvm\src\tools\clang\lib\CodeGen\ModuleBuilder.cpp, line 147

I tried other ROOT 6.X version and I had similar problems, nevertheles ROOT 5.X works fine.

ROOT Version: 6.26/00
Platform: Windows 11
Compiler: Not Provided

If you search this forum for fatal error: 'new' file not found, you will see that you should install Visual Studio 2019 (or 2022) and the Windows 10 SDK, and start from a x86 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019 (or 2022)

Hi,
I’m currently experiencing the same issue. Installing Windows 10 SDK made the first two errors disappear but I’m still getting:

input_line_1:1:10: fatal error: 'new' file not found

Hi and welcome to the ROOT Forum!
Did you start from a x86 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019 (or 2022)?
