Hunter is searching for vcvarsall.bat in the wrong location

[ValeV008]

I just started using Hunter and wanted to share my first experience.

I went through First Step example and ran the cmake configure. First time it failed because of this issue. I updated Hunter URL and ran cmake configure again.

Second time I got error:
vcvarsall.bat not found in C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2022/BuildTools/MSBuild/VC/Auxiliary/Build

The vcvarsall.exe file on my laptop is in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\BuildTools\VC\Auxiliary\Build. So I went to file C:\Hunter_root\_Base\Download\Hunter\0.25.6\69e4a05\Unpacked\cmake\modules\hunter_setup_msvc.cmake and change around lines 211 to (added one more '/../'):

set(_hunter_vcvarsall_path
#"${_hunter_vcvarsall_path}/../../../VC/Auxiliary/Build"
"${_hunter_vcvarsall_path}/../../../../VC/Auxiliary/Build"
)

Now cmake configure is working ok so far, and i have the time to write this post as a recommendations on the issues that could be fixed. :)

I can reproduce this with the 2022 Build Tools (maybe the layout is different to the normal Visual Studio installer?). Something like this would fix it?
