You are welcome! I do it because building LyX on windows should be as easy as it is on unix. Unfortunately this is not yet the case, and your help in trying out different tests is appreciated as well. > On 21.06.2016 22:02, Georg Baum wrote: >> The standalone SDK should be installed below C:\Program Files\Microsoft >> SDKs\ or C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\.

Sorry, then I am out of ides for now. Kornel sent a message in another thread pointing to http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.programming.tools.cmake.user/55645. Did you see it? Maybe asking on the cmake list gets some usable answers. You could also send me (privately please) the file C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V140\Platforms\Win32\PlatformToolsets\v140\Toolset.targets, maybe I have then an idea about possible causes for the error message you are seeing.
