Building new HiGHS from source in windows with Microsoft Visual Studio (cmake) asks multiple times to open a .vfproj file

[peno64]

I have Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 on my Windows system and execute following command which always worked before:

mkdir build cd build cmake -DFAST_BUILD=off .. cmake --build . --config Release

This last command results in multiple times asking with which program to open .vfproj files.

If I am not mistaking these are Fortran projects. Is that correct? Do I need Fortran now to be able to compile HiGHS?

This is the output from this last command:
