Latest update to Visual Studio causes cmake problem?

Programming and Development Compiling Audacity
1

Windows 11 Visual Studio 19 2022

The cmake command line stops because version 194 ( aka C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 19.41.34120) is not recognised. Error prompt says 193 is the latest acceptable.

I can’t find an easy work round although uninstalling the latest update should work if the experts can’t suggest better.

I have gone a bit further with this and altered the compiler version in the conan default profile and settings.yml to 194 . This takes the build a bit further but eventually fails as follows

ERROR: expat/2.5.0@audacity/stable: Error in generate() method, line 59
        tc = CMakeToolchain(self)
        KeyError: '194'

So there is another reference some where that needs changing. This is the limit of my knowledge so I’ll give up until someone with proper skills can fix it.

I updated cmake from 3.28 to 3.30 without any change in outcome.

Pleased to say that further updates have fixed this problem. The versions that work are:-

Visual Studio Community 17.11.4 ( from 17.11.3 which failed)

Audacity 3.6.4 ( was 3.6.2 )

Can’t say why but its working flawlessly with these versions.
