Compiling Detours

I don't want to use VCPKG as I find it difficult to understand. NuGet Manager was simple.

So I used GitHub Desktop to clone the repository to my pc. Then I opened the solution file in Visual Studio 2022.

But it says:

D:\My Libraries\Detours\vc\Detours.vcxproj : warning : The build tools for Visual Studio 2019 (v142) cannot be found. Install Visual Studio 2019 (v142) to build using the Visual Studio 2019 (v142) build tools.

I don't want to install the 2019 build tools. Can I configure it for 2022 build tools?

So I closed the SLN file and opened the VCXPROJ file instead and tried to cmpile debug x86:

>Done building project "Detours.vcxproj" -- FAILED.

Either way, I can't compile the x86 or x64 library files. Please advise.

Start with vc/Detours.vcxproj and the solution in Visual Studio 2022, then reproduce the x86 and x64 builds described in the report. Investigate the v142 toolset and missing atlmfc/lib/x86 path errors; done means the library builds successfully with the available Visual Studio 2022 tools.
