[ITK-users] cmake build error

[Matt McCormick]

"The Windows SDK version 8.1 was not found. Install the required
version of Windows SDK or change the SDK version in the project
property pages or by right-clicking the solution and selecting
"Retarget solution"."

The installation of Windows SDK along with Visual Studio may have not
been successful -- Visual Studio could be re-installed or Windows SDK
can be installed on its own.

HTH,
Matt
