Our tools are `cmake v3.25.2` and `MSBuild-Version 17.11.2+c078802d4` für .NET Framework
Microsoft `Visual Studio Professional 2022 (64-bit) - Current Version 17.11.2`
on Windows 11
We create a `visual studio 2022` project with this options:
```cmd
call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat"
cmake -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -B build -S . -A Win32 -D CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET=v100 -D BUILD_TESTS=YES -D BUILD_TOOLS=YES -D BUILD_TESTS_REMOTE=YES -D BUILD_SHARPTEST=YES -D CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES=Release # or Debug only! CK
```
Or with this cmake Preset (from cmd or with cmake-gui)
```json

}
}
]
# ...
}
```
If we open the generated solution and start the build, wie get error for each target?
But if we open with `vs2022` the project folder directly, our Release preset is loaded and it works fine!

You say you want VS 2022, call vcvars for VS 2010 and then generate for VS 2013?
At least for Ninja, you should call vcvars from VS 2013 with proper arguments for the wanted toolset and maybe SDK.
Will probably not solve the error message though 🙊

Good catch, a copy and past failure of me, sorry
