[llvm-dev] [PDB] Error "DIA is not installed on the system" occured in `llvm::pdb::loadDataForExe()`.

[Leonardo Santagada via llvm-dev]

did you run vcvars64.bat (or 32 if on 32 bit) before running cmake? That
bat file sets all environment variables necessary like vsinstalldir. I
think with that you might get DIA to work as well.
