-If building with `BUILD_GUI=ON`, vcpkg installation during the build

+### 6. vcpkg-specific Issues and Workarounds
+
+vcpkg installation during the configuration step might fail for various reasons unrelated to Bitcoin Core.
+
+If the failure is due to a "Buildtrees path … is too long" error, which is often encountered when building
+with `BUILD_GUI=ON` and using the default vcpkg installation provided by Visual Studio, you can
+specify a shorter path to store intermediate build files by using
+the [`--x-buildtrees-root`](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/vcpkg/commands/common-options#buildtrees-root) option:
+
+```powershell
+cmake -B build --preset vs2022-static -DVCPKG_INSTALL_OPTIONS="--x-buildtrees-root=C:\vcpkg"
+```
+
+If vcpkg installation fails with the message "Paths with embedded space may be handled incorrectly", which
+can occur if your local Bitcoin Core repository path contains spaces, you can override the vcpkg install directory
+by setting the [`VCPKG_INSTALLED_DIR`](https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg-docs/blob/main/vcpkg/users/buildsystems/cmake-integration.md#vcpkg_installed_dir) variable:
+
+```powershell
+cmake -B build --preset vs2022-static -DVCPKG_INSTALLED_DIR="C:\path_without_spaces"
