[Windows 11] generate_projects.bat is not providing a list of presets

Background:
I am trying to build physx for the first time and I am running into some issues. I am unsure if I am missing any steps as the readme is rather sparse https://github.com/NVIDIA-Omniverse/PhysX/blob/release/104.2/physx/documentation/platformreadme/windows/README_WINDOWS.md.

Question:
generate_project.bat is not providing a list of possible presets, how can I fix this?

Library and Version

Hello @soopnoods,
Tried to reproduce what you faced but I'm not able to do so, everything works as expected. From what you pasted; it seems that \buildtools\cmake_generate_projects.py is unable to find the presets under "buildtools/presets/*.xml". Can you check that these presets exists?
glob.glob("buildtools/presets/*.xml) will search for the directory "buildtools/presets" located in the current working directory. As far as I know glob.glob is a built-in Python function that is available in all Python environments, including Anaconda. However you can try to run this outside an Anaconda environment if the presets exists.
Thanks

Hi, I'm not really sure what changed between last time and this time, but I tried just following the directions in a clean enviornment and everything worked out this time, i.e:

1. clone repo
2. run .bat
3. select from the following:

Preset parameter required, available presets:
(0) vc15win64 <--- VC15 Win64 PhysX general settings
(1) vc16win64 <--- VC16 Win64 PhysX general settings
(2) vc17win64 <--- VC17 Win64 PhysX general settings

thanks for your time and assistance.
