Hello. I was looking to start using Cocos2d-x framework in Visual Studio 2022 for Windows 10. I followed the instructions as per above link. But there is no 'builds' folder in the zip file provided.

I understand it may be possible to create a vproj etc using cmake, but since the instructions are telling me there should be a build folder I have now spent much time looking for that and downloading the zip from various links.

After downloading 3 times, I now give up and must turn my attention to figuring out cmake.

This is very unhelpful as this is basically the first thing I read in the Documentation and it seems to be wrong and cost me a lot of time. Now if I cannot get it to work using cmake, I will still be unsure if it is me doing it wrong, my system missing files, or indeed simply incorrect documentation.

Thanks anyway for the software and the documentations, I will hopefully get it all working in the end. Thanks
