vcpkg.exe cannot determine the version of the downloaded nuget.exe.

[kazssym]

Describe the bug
vcpkg.exe cannot determine the version of the downloaded nuget.exe and stops its execution.

Environment

• OS: Windows 11 Pro 22H2
• Compiler: Visual Studio Community 2022 17.10.0

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. ./vcpkg upgrade --no-dry-run
2. See error

…(snip)
A suitable version of nuget was not found (required v6.10.0) Downloading portable nuget 6.10.0...
Downloading nuget...
https://dist.nuget.org/win-x86-commandline/v6.10.0/nuget.exe->F:\vcpkg\downloads\71d7307b-nuget.exe
Downloading https://dist.nuget.org/win-x86-commandline/v6.10.0/nuget.exe
error: nuget (F:\vcpkg\downloads\tools\nuget-6.10.0-windows\nuget.exe) produced unexpected output when attempting to determine the version:
NuGet バージョン: 6.10.0.107
使用方法: NuGet <command> [args] [options]
…(snip)

Expected behavior
vcpkg.exe would continue the upgrade process.

Failure logs
vcpkg.exe did not provide any log locations.

Additional context
My environment uses the Japanese locale. nuget.exe 6.2.1 produced NuGet Version: 6.2.1.2 but 6.10.0 produces NuGet バージョン: 6.10.0.107. The localized output seems to be the cause.

You should use ./vcpkg upgrade --no-dry-run instead of ./vcpkg install upgrade --no-dry-run,
Can you directly use the command https://dist.nuget.org/win-x86-commandline/v6.10.0/nuget.exe to download nuget?

The command was my mistake. It is indeed .\vcpkg.exe upgrade

nuget.exe was actually downloaded under downloads\tools. The major difference between the two nuget.exe versions is no "version" strong is found in the 6.10 output.

Same issue with a French OS/Version
Nuget tool is in french now and probably error parsing version

Nuget 6.2 (working)

NuGet Version: 6.2.1.2
usage: NuGet <command> [args] [options]
Type 'NuGet help <command>' for help on a specific command.

Nuget 6.10 (failed)

NuGet Version : 6.10.0.107
utilisation : NuGet <command> [args] [options]
Tapez 'NuGet help <command>' pour obtenir de l'aide sur une commande spécifique.

I found code in vcpkg-tool expecting a fixed string to extract the nuget version as this:

                    return extract_prefixed_nonwhitespace("NuGet Version: ", Tools::NUGET, std::move(output), exe_path);

[DimRochette]

So the new space before the : break it

[dg0yt]

So the localisations break it:
en: NuGet Version: 6.2.1.2
fr: NuGet Version : 6.10.0.107
OP: NuGet バージョン: 6.10.0.107

I reverted the changes in f33c861 locally as a workaround to use vcpkg.

                    return extract_prefixed_nonwhitespace("NuGet Version: ", Tools::NUGET, std::move(output), exe_path);

I recompiled the vcpkg-tool according to this and successfully solved the problem of NuGet outputting localized strings.
