Under Visual Studio 15.3.4 lack of $PLATFORM environment variable causes generation to fail

[memsharded]

And the step to reproduce would be just to load a CMakeLists.txt using the cmake-conan, directly from the VS IDE, right, with the "open folder" feature, isn't it? Thanks for reporting.

@memsharded correct. Sorry for missing that out.

I use plain straight-from-the-docs:

include(${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR/conan.cmake)
conan_cmake_run(CONANFILE conanfile.txt
                BASIC_SETUP CMAKE_TARGETS
                BUILD missing)

Full output is (in case you don't have access this version of VS):

Thanks for the feedback! Labeling it as bug. Unfortunately, won't be able to fix it quickly, so many things in the queue :(, lets see if someone else can help with it.
