How to install multiple versions of MSBuild and use them with cmake

I installed the MSBuild Tools with the current 2022 Installer, as seen in the image i also install MSVC 140, 141 and 142 as well as the c++ cmake-tools for windows.

Visual Studio Installer

Now, if i want to run cmake with a Generator other than "Visual Studio 17 2022" cmake is giving me the following error:

CMake Error

So, my question is, how do i install multiple versions of MSBuild which are actually usable by cmake?

Thanks!

You only have 2022 installed, so you can't use any other generator. You installed toolkits using Visual Studio 2022. You can define the toolkit using the command line, e.g.:

cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -T v142

See https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake.1.html.
