I had the same error (MSB4023) when trying to run

```auto
C:\> "c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\BuildTools\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\CMake\CMake\bin\cmake.exe" ^
-G "Visual Studio 17 2022" ^
-A x64 ^
-T ClangCL ^
-S "C:/Downloads/cuda-samples-master/cuda-samples-master/Samples/1_Utilities/deviceQuery" ^
-B . ^

-DCMAKE_VS_PLATFORM_TOOLSET_CUDA_CUSTOM_DIR="C:/Program Files/NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit/CUDA/v12.6"

```
