Build Kodi on Windows raise error MSB8066 - CastagnaIT - 2021-07-13

Hi there,
it is not the first time that i make builds of Kodi for WIndows 64bit

but now I can no longer build it,
every time raise this error MSB8066

I have tried initially with Matrix branch but also the master branch cause same error

of course already tried various cleanups, rebuild from scratch, git resync etc...
i have also updated to last versions VS2019/Java/CMake without success

i have found the problem
i report the solution in case anyone encounters the same problem

in my case before the error MSB8066,
there is the fatal: ...Set CHROMIUM_BUILDTOOLS_PATH to use outside of a chromium checkout
this come from google depot tools that interfeer with kodi build

then is needed remove the PATH to google depot tools from system variables before build Kodi
