The error message says, " cl
is not a full path and was not found in the PATH.
To use the NMake generator with Visual C++, cmake must be run from a shell
that can use the compiler cl from the command line. This environment is
unable to invoke the cl compiler. To fix this problem, run cmake from the
Visual Studio Command Prompt (vcvarsall.bat).
Tell CMake where to find the compiler by setting either the environment
variable “CC” or the CMake cache entry CMAKE_C_COMPILER to the full path to
the compiler, or to the compiler name if it is in the PATH."
I think someone with more knowledge of Windows and Visual Studio will have to help debug this further. My PATH looks to be similar (apart from me having the 2017 version)
I am trying to install Geant4 on a work computer that I do not have admin rights to so I am very limited in what changes I can do to paths and such. I’ve even been unable to install CMake properly, but found a workaround using a Conda environment. I am getting the error:

Is this due to how I installed CMake using Conda or is there something else going on? I’ve never used Windows before so I’m not clear where to even look to find the cause of this error.
