Build error after package installation failed

[develooper1994]

Describe the bug
When package installation failed, strange error sometimes appears in console. I can fix it manually, but it is some type of bug in my opinion.

Environment

• OS: Windows-11
• Compiler: visual c++ 2022

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. ./vcpkg install [any package]
2. After installation failed
3. The error occurs:
   "
   Error: while loading [any]:
   The port directory (<vcpkg_dir>\ports[any]) does not exist
   Error: failed to load port from <vcpkg_dir>\ports[any]
   Note: Updating vcpkg by rerunning bootstrap-vcpkg may resolve this failure.
   Repro code when
   "

Expected behavior
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.
It doesn't have to see like that.

Failure logs
-(please attached failure logs)

The port directory (<vcpkg_dir>\ports[any]) does not exist
Error: failed to load port from <vcpkg_dir>\ports[any]

Repro code when

Additional context
How i fix it manually:

1. cd <vcpkg_dir>\installed\vcpkg
2. open status. All installed package list is here.
3. Find the failed package
4. Remove it
5. Save the file and close
6. restart console (really close the window)
7. back to work

Thanks for posting this issue. Did you use the latest version of vcpkg? Or before installing port, did you run command git pull and .\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat?

I can't reproduce it locally, if this error appear again, please provide the screenshot on powershell, and if the failed port has error log file, please also provide to us.
