Following applies to windows 10 and 11

[1] Should be: cmake.exe -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -SMTG_CREATE_PLUGIN_LINK=0 -A x64 ..\vst3sdk

[2] Also please add that for msbuild.exe vstsdk.sln you need to open the Visual Studio developer prompt in ADMNISITRATOR mode .this is from the tart menu "Developer command prompt for Visual Studio 2022" (a bit hard to find)

[3] VS2019 & VS2022: msbuild.exe vstsdk.sln, when building the examples, getting lot of errors in red color such as

The system cannot find the file specified.
  Could Not Find C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\channelcontext.vst3
  Access is denied.

[4] The git repository does not seem to include the .bat for VST2, the zip download from Steinberg website does.

[3] SOLVED: To avoid the error, run the Developer Tools prompt in Administrator mode only errors remain related to the pitchnames project:

there is an error in the example: use this: -DSMTG_CREATE_PLUGIN_LINK=0 (fixed in next update)
