You’re probably missing an SDK component in the Visual Studio installer. Or build tools.

What’s the output of `cl` command? Should print MSVC version and usage example (_if it is available in your `PATH`_).  
Also, have you tried running CMake from VS prompt (_`/path/to/vs/Common7/Tools/VsDevCmd.bat`_)?
