Cmake- GUI - Error in Configuration process, project files maybe in invalid

[ruchipatel808]

I'm trying to use the Python API but the Cmake-GUI gives the error I have added below. How to resolve this?

I had some of these errors in my configuration process as well. And it turns out I missed out on a few steps of the installation pre-requisites from here

I solved this by installing Visual Studio, CUDA, and cuDNN for my Windows computer, running with an NVIDIA GPU.
