函数不正确。seems to translate to "The function is incorrect."

What sort of disk is R:\? Is it a network drive, a ram disk, or a normal HDD/SSD?

a ram disk, sized about 4GB

[retep998]

I suspect this is the ram disk not supporting the canonicalize operation that rustc insists on performing. #59117

As a workaround, you can change your temporary directory to be on a normal HDD/SSD.

it seems this could work around the issue, thanks

Triage: This is about problems canonicalizing paths on RAM drives. So is #48249, so closing as duplicate.
