Hi can I build older version of ITK and VTK with visual studio 2017? Or I need an older version VS? Because when I am trying to build I am getting  
NO CMAKE\_CXX\_COMPIlER could be found.

Hi @srbn.ghosh89 Which versions of ITK and VTK do you want to build? Maybe your CMake version is too old! Which version of CMake do you have?

Good luck!

CMake 3.6 does not yet support visual studio 2017, according to [https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.6/manual/cmake-generators.7.html#id10](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.6/manual/cmake-generators.7.html#id10)

Would it be possible for you to upgrade CMake?

For Visual Studio 2017, I think you must have a _newer_ cmake version! Certainly not an earlier version!
