error while building a release(official) version on window error: Gecko exception wrapping doesn't understand your your MSVC/SDK. Please file a bug describing this error and your build configuration.

[Amirhossein Ghafari]

Hi,

I'm trying to build the release version of the firefox on the windows host.

The problem is I can easily follow the build instruction for windows provided (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Build_Instructions/Windows_Prerequisites) but when I'm trying to compile a released version like (https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/62.0/source/firefox-62.0.source.tar.xz) I will get the error in the building process.

I'm so frustrated right now I would shake your hand if you tell me what's wrong.

here is the error:

That error usually crops up when something's wrong with the Windows SDK,
the most likely explanation is that you don't have the correct version
installed. IIRC you need either SDK 10.0.15063.0 or 10.0.17134.0.

Additionally I'd suggest you to try building the current mozilla-central
codebase instead of a release version and use ./mach bootstrap to get
all your dependencies installed.

You cannot build Firefox 62 or earlier using Visual Studio 2017 Update 8
because of <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1484184>.
