VS: Add option for custom Win10 SDK version maximum (!5150) · Merge requests · CMake / CMake

jonathan molinatto requested to merge jrmolin/cmake:MSVC-ignore_maximum_Windows_10_SDK_version into master Aug 20, 2020

Since !2388 (merged) we enforce a maximum SDK version for the VS 2015 generator. The blog post linked in the original commit is no longer available, but it can be seen here:

In particular, it states:

VS 2015 Users: The Windows 10 SDK (15063, 16299, 17134, 17763) is officially only supported for VS 2017.

However, in some circumstances a higher version can be used.

Add a CMAKE_VS_WINDOWS_TARGET_PLATFORM_VERSION_MAXIMUM to override the generator's default maximum SDK version.
