When configuring Cmake with vcpkg, the following message appears:

-- Running vcpkg install
Fetching registry information from https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg (HEAD)...
error: in triplet x64-windows: Unable to find a valid Visual Studio instance
Could not locate a complete Visual Studio instance

-- Running vcpkg install - failed

This is the log, not useful at all really

I tried the tutorial here and repro the same thing.

I think cmake focuses on locating MSBuild.exe for identifying Build tools. And my install of 14.41.34120 does not have MSBuild.exe

Yeah, I'm not adding msbuild to this program. What you want is a full Build Tools installation from Microsoft, not a minimal portable one like this. Get this instead: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vs_BuildTools.exe
