Research direction
Start with the repository's existing setup instructions and the CMake configuration path that invokes nuget.exe to fetch Microsoft.Direct3D.DirectStorage. Document the nuget.exe prerequisite and how CMake must find it, then verify that a clean Visual Studio 2022 configuration can fetch the package without the NUGET_EXE-NOTFOUND message.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
After cloning the repository and following the instructions to open the GDeflate directory as a local folder in Visual Studio 2022, the initial CMake configuration fails with this message:
1> [CMake] -- Check for working CXX compiler: C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio/2022/Community/VC/Tools/MSVC/14.32.31326/bin/Hostx64/x64/cl.exe - skipped
1> [CMake] -- Detecting CXX compile features
1> [CMake] -- Detecting CXX compile features - done
1> [CMake]
1> [CMake] Process failed because: The system cannot find the file specified
1> [CMake]
1> [CMake] for command: NUGET_EXE-NOTFOUND install -Source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json Microsoft.Direct3D.DirectStorage -Version 1.2.2 -ExcludeVersion -OutputDirectory D:/src2/DirectStorage/GDeflate/build/Windows/Debug/packages
1> [CMake] -- Configuring done
1> [CMake] -- Generating done
1> [CMake] -- Build files have been written to: D:/src2/DirectStorage/GDeflate/build/Windows/Debug
Per this page: https://www.nuget.org/downloads , while NuGet is bundled with Visual Studio, the nuget.exe CLI program is not, so this doesn't appear to be a problem of VS being misconfigured. (In my installation, both NuGet components are installed and working otherwise.)
If NuGet CLI isn't installed somewhere that CMake can find it, then the build will fail because it won't fetch the DirectStorage package and dstorage.h will be missing.
