How to instruct the CMake to use a specific CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET?

vcpkg uses CMake internally to build stuff and on my system, the CMake invoked by the vcpkg, attempts to use the wrong version of the SDK and errors out (I can see its attempt to access a non-existent SDK file path in SysInternals' ProcessMonitor when the linker attempts to access the ucrtd.lib file, while the CMake is doing its job).

Setting the CMake's environment variable to the correct toolset: CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET=v142, does not work.
Setting the vcpkg's environment variable to the correct toolset: VCPKG_PLATFORM_TOOLSET=v142, does not work.
However, setting the CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET:INTERNAL=v142 inside the CMakeCache.txt works ! ( it gets rid of the error temporarily ).

Q: Is there some kind of configuration file somewhere which instructs the CMake( the one used by vcpkg) to permanently use a specific CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET ?

BTW: I encountered this problem when executing the command vcpkg install opencl in Windows x64 from the x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019.

Specifically, this happens when the vcpkg tests the functionality of the compiler & linker in: ..vcpkg/downloads/tools/cmake-3.30.1-windows/cmake-3.30.1-windows-i386/share/cmake-3.30/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake:

When the compiler & linker are tested by this statement:

try_compile(CMAKE_C_COMPILER_WORKS
  SOURCE_FROM_VAR testCCompiler.c __TestCompiler_testCCompilerSource
  OUTPUT_VARIABLE __CMAKE_C_COMPILER_OUTPUT)

The linker looks for the ucrtd.lib in the wrong path (a nonexistent path from a different SDK version) and errors out with:

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'ucrtd.lib'
