After importing the project, reinstalling CMake, Visual C++ and installing the necessary tools specified in INSTALL is still get this error. (See attachment)
Error		CMake Error at D:\Progetti\ivan-058\CMakeLists.txt:2 (project):
  Generator

    Visual Studio 15 2017

  could not find any instance of Visual Studio.
Is the project supposed to be worked on Visual Studio 2017 only? The INSTALL file states that a newer version can be used.

Cmake has been working for me after I changed the version in the CMakeSettings.json to "generator": "Visual Studio 16 2019"

Thanks TMG. It seems most people are getting set up with the latest Visual Studio. I'll switch the default config to VS 2019 when I next get a chance.
