A very important change must be made to the path that points to the Visual Studio .bat file that configures command line compiling/linking and building of plugins and executibles. Plugins for RenderMan version 21.0 or later require the preference shown below to point to,
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\amd64\vcvars64.bat
or an equivalent path if the reader is using another version of Visual Studio.
