Please point to vswhere.exe in Visual Studio toolchain docs
When trying to understand issues with Visual Studio it would be immensely helpful if the CMake docs for the Visual Studio generators pointed to Microsoft's vswhere.exe
.
Specifically, I suggest mentioning it in the Visual Studio Generators section of cmake-generators with text like
The
vswhere.exe
tool can be used to list all Visual Studio installations on a system. It shipped with Visual Studio 2017 version 15.2 and greater, where it can be found at `"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\vswhere.exe". It can also be downloaded from the vswhere project page. Filters for specific toolsets are supported.
then on each individual VS generator page, mention "See {link to Visual Studio Generators section} for guidance on identifying Visual Studio installations and selecting the correct generator".
