error in configuration process

[Sorn]

I'm on the same system and I have this same problem. Exact same message in CMakeOutput as OP, even with debug output selected.

My error message in the output window looks like this...

CMake Error at CMakeLists.text:38 (PROJECT):
Failed to run MSBuild command:

MSBuild.exe

to get the value of VCTargetsPath:




Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
See also "C:/EQ/Source/Build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".

I'm no C++ programmer or anything like that, but I did a little poking around with the Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt. I ended up with the following error (Please forgive any mistakes on my part, I'm not good at these...):

C:\EQ\Source\CMakeLists.txt(1,1): error MSB4025: The project file could not be loaded. Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.

(My command was 'msbuild CMakeLists.txt')

That was the only error.

Edit: Oh, my CMake version is 3.9.1, using Visual Studio 2017.
