VS Code: Unable to determine what CMake generator to use.

Question

When I create a new project from samples in VS Code I get this error

[variant] Loaded new set of variants
[kit] Successfully loaded 9 kits from C:\Users\Andrea\AppData\Local\CMakeTools\cmake-tools-kits.json
[main] Unable to determine what CMake generator to use. Please install or configure a preferred generator, or update settings.json, your Kit configuration or PATH variable. Error: No usable generator found.
[main] Configuring folder: hello_world
[main] Unable to determine what CMake generator to use. Please install or configure a preferred generator, or update settings.json, your Kit configuration or PATH variable. Error: No usable generator found. 
 
 How can I fix it?

dejans said: To return to your original question, in your case there is an issue related to the capitalization of the environmental variable (expected Path and used PATH by the installation) and this has been reported internally. 
 After few months I reinstalled the NCS and now works fine. I suppose due to updates. Thanks for your support.
