I can see many similar issues already exist, all of them are about
Command failed: D:/Coding/vcpkg/downloads/tools/cmake-3.31.10-windows/cmake-3.31.10-windows-x86_64/bin/cmake.exe -E tar xjf D:/Coding/vcpkg/downloads/microsoft-onnxruntime-v1.23.2.tar.gz
But I have tried vcpkg install onnxruntime --x-abi-tools-use-exact-versions and the problem remains.
and I am sure that the downloaded 'microsoft-onnxruntime-v1.23.2.tar.gz' is not corrupted.
I have found the cause:
In the tar.gz file, there is a folder named microsoft-onnxruntime-v1.23.2.tar.gz\onnxruntime-1.23.2\winml\test\collateral\models\UnicodePath\こんにちは maçã.
If you extract it directly from the console using tar xjf microsoft-onnxruntime-v1.23.2.tar.gz, there is no error, but the folder name becomes 銇撱倱銇仭銇_ma莽茫. So, tar xjf in Win10 actually works, but the handling of Unicode paths is not perfect.
If you extract it using cmake-3.31.10-windows-x86_64/bin/cmake.exe -E tar xvf microsoft-onnxruntime-v1.23.2.tar.gz, you will encounter errors like:
CMake Error: Problem with archive_write_header(): Invalid empty pathname
CMake Error: Current file:
CMake Error: Problem extracting tar: microsoft-onnxruntime-v1.23.2.tar.gz
The latest CMake 4.2 also fails on this.
However tar xf works 100% fine with tar from git:
tools\git-2.7.4-windows\usr\bin\tar xf microsoft-onnxruntime-v1.23.2.tar.gz
Maybe CMake should update its own tar.

@luncliff @BillyONeal Any ideas? Is it possible to use tar from git to extract the tar.gz file? The CMake tar seems buggy and outdated.
