<p class="MsoNormal">Dear All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m contacting you, because we are having issues with CMake a few days ago and it makes our daily work very difficult.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The problem is that CMake cannot configure and generate a Visual Studio solution from an existing C++ codebase. We are attempting to generate a Visual Studio 2017 64-bit solution.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As per the error message VCTargetsPath is not found, so MSBuild is crashing after a few seconds.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I tried running MSBuild.exe in developer console, but it displays nothing at all. (The error code is 0x05).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">MSBuild.exe is executing in Powershell however.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My question is how could we overcome the above issue? Could you please give us some possible workarounds or what direction should we take in order to investigate?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you in advance for your kind assistance,<o:p></o:p></p>
