Error in generate_projects.bat

[SigmaKlim]

When I want to generate .sln files for physx, I start generate_projects.bat as said in readme. However, the console outputs this: ""\VsWhere.exe" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file" at first, then runs for a bit more, then reports a failure to locade .dll files. In the end the necessary .sln files do not appear in the proper folder. The situation is replicated on my colleage computer.
Please help. Full console output provided:

Hello @SigmaKlim,
Thank you for reporting this issue.
You seem to be using PhysX 5, however you reported the issue here which is the old repo with PhysX 4. Just for tracking purposes, it will be better to report the same issue in https://github.com/NVIDIA-Omniverse/PhysX.
Second, I can't reproduce the issue from my side, but from where I'm seeing the issue seems to be in the dependencies.xml file or something related to fetching the required packages. Did you change anything there (in dependencies.xml file)?
Thank you

Additionally can you try latest release in https://github.com/NVIDIA-Omniverse/PhysX?
