Visual Studio projects are multi-config projects like Ninja-MultiConfig which means you can't set the configuration at configure time as there are multiple, it always chooses the first one by default when not specified in the build command.
Instead of this:
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -G"Visual Studio 17 2022" .
cmake --build . --verbose
It should be this
cmake -G"Visual Studio 17 2022" .
cmake --build . --verbose --config Release
Because the existing cmake solution does not use generator expressions for its per config configuration, we actually have to specify it in both commands :(
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -G"Visual Studio 17 2022" .
cmake --build . --verbose --config Release
Fixes #1582
