[CMake] Visual Studio 2017 could not be found if installed in non-default location

[HarpyWar]

 "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.Windows81SDK" could not not be found
anywhere.

A component "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.Windows10SDK.14393" exists on
Windows 10 x64 (just found about it here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-
us/visualstudio/install/workload-component-id-vs-community)

This component also exists on a virtual machine with Windows 8.1 x86 where
cmake can not find the compiler.
