Hi Bill, Thanks for your response! Yes, I am aware of that MSVS has CMake integration starting in MSVS 2017, but for various reasons, the pace of upgrading or installing new software with the other contractors on the project is limited. Some are stuck with MSVS 2015 which does not yet have native CMake support.
I have included CMake binaries for Windows in a vendor subdirectory of the project and wrote a batch file to allow one-click generation of Visual Studio project files using the CMake binary now included with the source code. With one click, the version of MSVS available is queried through registry keys, the machine arch is queried and the included CMake is launched with the correct MSVS version and arch specified to the -G generator flag. Thanks to all for all your help and suggestions!
