[CMake] Why does CMake 3.9.0 open VS2017 when targeting 2013 after installing 2017... sigh.

The CUDA language support requires the CUDA MSBUILD extensions, which
will require you to run the CUDA installer again ( it only installs
the msbuild extensions for versions that are currently installed ).

 As Hendrik stated CMake defers to the windows shell/explorer for
opening solution files.

Is this difficult to ask fo Kitware?  I am sure there are certainly some shenanigans like path or VS2017 hooking calls to 2013 tools or the like all of which I am sure make sens to a cubite in the bowels of the MS machine.  VS loaded 2017 and vs 2013  proj files then promptly had problems searching files, compiling stale targets and the like.  So while VS2017 make "hook" 2013 tools it certainly can't do any thing useful with them IME.  Is there a Meta buld tool (goop generator) that will build goop for a target goop reader then call said target goop reader (of correct specified version) to read goop and compile my code?  sigh.
