<span>I just tried to build Step 1 of the CMake tutorial that comes with the source code (CMake version 3.14.3), once with VS2019 as the generator and then again with VS2017 as the generator. The latter worked fine but the former didn't. I got the same error
as mentioned in the initial message:</span></div>

<div>When I try to look at the .vcxproj file mentioned in the error, I see that it can't find VS2019 Build Tools even though I do have them. I asked on MSDN forums but I don't have a reply there yet. And I don't know how to fix the issue myself, either.</div>

<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<span>I would like for someone to please help me out with this. Is there a way for me to fix this problem? Like some sort of patch that can be added somewhere? I installed the binary for CMake 3.14.3 initially and only got the source code to try out the
tutorial as a test for CMake; I'm not planning to try and build CMake. </span></div>
