Thanks, this worked:
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E env "\"$(WindowsSdkDir)/bin/x64/makecert.exe\"" ...
I still believe that what I was trying to do was perfectly valid in the sense
that it is using a VS environment variable $(WindowsSdkDir) that is not defined
in the system environment variable, thus it exist only when command is executed
from within VS. Normally we do use find_program(...) but this doesn't apply for
this case because VS environment variables such as $(WindowsSdkDir) won't
resolve outside of VS.
Thanks!

I don't think it is supported. You could try adding a wrapper around the call
so that it appears as an argument instead of in the command.
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E env "$(WindowsSdkDir)/bin/x64/makecert.exe" ...
OTOH you're trying to pierce CMake's abstract model of a command (which is why
it's not supported). Instead you could find_program the tools you need and
reference them by absolute path.
