I just gives a generic error that one or more projects could not be loaded. I want to move to 2.8.10 because it has more advanced generator expressions. What do I need to supply to you to help me figure out what the issue is?

I think the quickest way is to keep a copy of the broken .vcxproj file,
then revert to a CMake version which works
(I'd recommend to try 2.8.9 first, to minimize change candidates),
then keep a copy of the working .vcxproj file, too.
Then either use diff to figure out the changed/added parts,
or figure them out manually (obviously less reliable),
or send both files to someone who can analyze it this way.

Thanks for the report!
