Hello @jcfr,
I am having issues with following the quick build instructions for VIAME as described here: [GitHub - VIAME/VIAME: Video and Image Analytics for Multiple Environments](https://github.com/VIAME/VIAME#installations)
I want to have a VIAME build with VIAME\_ENABLE\_SMQTK, YOLO, OPENCV, PYTORCH, VXL, and VIVIA enabled, and it seems I need to follow those steps as described in the above link.
I have encountered many issues, and after getting compilers finally set up and working I am encountering this error:
C:\VIAME\Proj\> cmake -DCMAKE\_BUILD\_TYPE:STRING=Release source
– Selecting Windows SDK version 10.0.22621.0 to target Windows .

I think a possible issue could be that my computer doesn’t have a CUDA enable GPU card mine is Intel (R) UHD Graphics 620. I am not sure what I could do to change that.
Let me know what solutions you would suggest, or if you need any additional information

You do not need to do a build just have a build or installer with these settings, as the default binaries on [GitHub - VIAME/VIAME: Video and Image Analytics for Multiple Environments](http://github.com/VIAME/VIAME) page have all these settings enabled by default, including the windows ones.
Should you desire to do a build regardless of this, windows is more difficult than Linux. I would first check you are using the correct CUDA version specified in the build instructions, 11.6, 11.7 instead of v12.0+
The scripts located in [https://github.com/VIAME/VIAME/blob/main/cmake/build\_server\_windows.bat](https://github.com/VIAME/VIAME/blob/main/cmake/build_server_windows.bat) show how the dashboard servers perform a full windows build, if that is easier.
