Steps to reproduce the behavior

Create a CMake project, for example with the cmake-init tool.
Add qtbase and qttools 6.8.1 as dependencies in vcpkg.json.

find_program(TOOL_WINDEPLOYQT NAMES windeployqt)
find_program(TOOL_WINDEPLOYQT_DEBUG NAMES windeployqt.debug.bat)
message(STATUS "TOOL_WINDEPLOYQT:${TOOL_WINDEPLOYQT} ${TOOL_WINDEPLOYQT_DEBUG}")
-- TOOL_WINDEPLOYQT:TOOL_WINDEPLOYQT-NOTFOUND TOOL_WINDEPLOYQT_DEBUG-NOTFOUND

If I do this, it works, but it wasn't necessary before:

find_program(WINDEPLOYQT_EXECUTABLE NAMES windeployqt HINTS "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/vcpkg_installed/x64-windows/tools/Qt6/bin")

Additional context

I used to invoke windeployqt in my build folder to be able to easily run my application without installing the program. It stopped working, my CMake scripts can't find windeployqt, even though it is in vcpkg_installed.

The problem seems to go away when the host triplet is the same as the target triplet.

In fact, I don't think windeployqt works at all, even in the install script. It can't find libraries. I feel it might have something to do with the host-target split.

I changed the host triplet to be the same as the target triplet and everything worked like before.

Note that by default, vcpkg does not pass the host triplet into cmake configuration.
Without that parameter, the vcpkg toolchain points CMAKE_PROGRAM_PATH to the target tools dir, not to the host tools dir.

Isn't windeployqt available as an imported target? If yes, doesn't it point to the right location?

@dg0yt It is not available as an imported property. I can't find it, at least.

This is my CMAKE_PROGRAM_PATH:
M:/vcpkg-windeployqt-failure/build/dev/vcpkg_installed/x64-windows-static-md/tools;M:/vcpkg-windeployqt-failure/build/dev/vcpkg_installed/x64-windows-static-md/tools/brotli;M:/vcpkg-windeployqt-failure/build/dev/vcpkg_installed/x64-windows-static-md/tools/bzip2;M:/vcpkg-windeployqt-failure/build/dev/vcpkg_installed/x64-windows-static-md/tools/pcre2;M:/vcpkg-windeployqt-failure/build/dev/vcpkg_installed/x64-windows-static-md/tools/Qt6/bin;M:/vcpkg-windeployqt-failure/build/dev/vcpkg_installed/x64-windows-static-md/tools/icu/bin

As you can see, none of those paths point to the host tools dir (x64-windows). They are all target dirs.
