Failed to build on Win10 about simpleelastix HOT 3 OPEN

I've noticed something when I tried to build SimpleElastix using VS2022. One of the error messages said

9>LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'C:\Users...\build\SimpleElastix\ITK-build\lib\Release\ITKIOJPEG2000-5.1.lib' [C:\Users...\build\SimpleElastix\SimpleITK-build\Wrapping\Python\SimpleITK_PYTHON.vcxproj]

The weird thing is that there is a file called ITKIOJPEG-5.1.lib, but not ITKIOJPEG2000-5.1.lib. I wonder if there is a mistake in the build or sth? After this the build ends with:

Done building project "SimpleITK.vcxproj" -- FAILED.

Seeing this exact issue as well. This repo hasn't changed since April though so it probably means one of its external dependencies is not pinned. My guess is that whichever one is pulling in "OpenJPEG" needs to be pinned to a known-working commit or tag.

Edit:

As a workaround, looks like the Debug or Minimal Size Release build configurations work. It's only the "Release" build configuration that is currently broken.

Long time no reply: the solution suggested by RPGillespie6 works. However, the support for this project (SimpleElastix) seems to have been dropped and instead the current way to work with Elastix in python is using ITK-elastix package. Unfortunately, this package is built on ITK instead of SimpleITK, so working with it is a bit trickier, but the package works perfectly fine after installing through pip and you don't need to build the whole project, like is the case with SimpleElastix, saving hours.
