Beyond that I can't think of anything other than debugging into

For me it lists my "Visual Studio Community 2017" installation (on

If CMake works nonetheless perhaps you've got 
"Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.Windows81SDK" instead of 
"Microsoft.VisualStudio.Compone

nt.Windows10SDK" (which I think CMake falls back on).

And on the systems where it doesn't work perhaps you've got neither?

Re: [CMake] Visual Studio 2017 could not be found if installed in non-default location

[HarpyWar]

I did some tests on different Windows versions in virtual machines.
On a fresh Windows 10 (and installed Visual Studio 2017 Community) cmake
works fine and a compiler is found.
But on earlier versions: Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 -
cmake always fails with error

"The CXX compiler identification is unknown"


So, the problem is not in different installation path, but in wrong method
to find a compiler in earlier Windows.

Nils Gladitz, the command, which you proposed, return nothing, even on a
machine where a compiler found:
vswhere -requires Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.Tools.x86.x64
-requires Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.Windows10SDK

Perhaps also try:

-requires Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.Windows10SDK


I think those are the default components CMake might expect when looking 
for compatible installations.

Did you have any of the VS 15 preview versions installed previously?

For reference, VS 2017 does not have any registry entries.  Instead
the VS installer tool provides a COM interface that applications must
use to ask for the location(s) of VS installations.  We do this in
cmVSSetupHelper [1].

Re: [CMake] Visual Studio 2017 could not be found if installed in non-default location

[Robert Maynard]

I just installed the Visual Studio Community 2017 edition into my D
drive and verified that both the 32bit and 64bit compiler was found
correctly.

The C compiler identification is MSVC 19.10.25017.0
The CXX compiler identification is MSVC 19.10.25017.0
Check for working C compiler:
D:/Work/VisualStudo2017/VC/Tools/MSVC/14.10.25017/bin/HostX86/x64/cl.exe
Check for working C compiler:
D:/Work/VisualStudo2017/VC/Tools/MSVC/14.10.25017/bin/HostX86/x64/cl.exe
-- works
Detecting C compiler ABI info
Detecting C compiler ABI info - done
Check for working CXX compiler:
D:/Work/VisualStudo2017/VC/Tools/MSVC/14.10.25017/bin/HostX86/x64/cl.exe
Check for working CXX compiler:
D:/Work/VisualStudo2017/VC/Tools/MSVC/14.10.25017/bin/HostX86/x64/cl.exe
-- works


So the real question is how did your compiler end up in the C drive
and not the alternative drive like mine. Do you run the visual studio
installer multiple times?
