The standalone SDK should be installed below C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\ or C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\. If there is nothing below one of these folders then it is probably not installed. Unfortunately the SDK stuff is quite confusing. Sometimes the SDK is included with MSVC, sometimes you need a standalone version. After some googling it looks like MSVC 2015 comes with a newer SDK that should be used, but the installion is optional. Some more things you could try: - Make sure the MSVC included SDK is installed, as described at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31619296/cmake-does-not-find-visual-c-compiler. Then create the MSVC project files with cmake again. - In contrast to my earlier advice, select MSVC 2010 in cmake as generator, and have MSVC convert the projects during loading (this would help in case there is a MSVC 2015 related bug in cmake).
