When creating the build tool, I made the decision to retain the build products between builds to speed up the build process while in the development process. It’s possible that there are binaries left over from the version of Visual Studio you were running before installing Visual Studio 2019.

For example, in your full build log, I notice there is a link error associated with tessdatamanager.obj. But I don’t see the corresponding compiler command. This leads me to believe tessdatamanager.obj binary might have been built with an earlier version of Visual Studio which could explain the linking error.

As a first step, I recommend that you try this command to clean out the build products:

npm run clean-tesseract

And then try the:

npm install
