Re: [edk2-devel] EDK2 environment setup

["Sean" <spbrogan@outlook.com>]

A few things.

1. Do you have a log from the console?

2. Are you running WinHost.exe from a command line with current working 
directory set to the same folder?  Is it finding your FD?

For example if I run from the wrong folder i see.

C:\src\Platform-Ci\edk2\Build\EmulatorX64\DEBUG_VS2019>X64\WinHost.exe

EDK II WIN Host Emulation Environment from http://www.tianocore.org/edk2/
   BootMode 0x00
   OS Emulator passing in 128 KB of temp RAM at 0xe60a0000 to SEC
ERROR : Can not open Firmware Device File ../FV/FV_RECOVERY.fd (0xE). 
Exiting.


If I run with CWD set to X64 folder then it works fine.

3. If you want, the platform CI has landed into master.  The emulator is 
being build and booted to shell on each PR.  You can follow the same 
process.

Thanks
Sean
