Good morning David. I have made a bit of progress towards the Ninja build. I cleaned my machine of all VS related installations. I reinstalled VS 2022 17.12. I then followed the procedure you proposed and I was able to generate a cmake project for ninja (ninja.build)
I am still reinstalling VS 2022 on the machine with Java 23. I should be able to build soon. I will report accordingly. Thanks very much.
