What I forgot to say is that you of course need the Universal CRT DLLs
available somewhere on your build system where the CMake code behind
CMAKE_INSTALL_UCRT_LIBRARIES will find them.

I can't remember exactly what I did, but I do remember a fiddled
around a bit to get them installed without having to install a full
SDK, because the SDK that they were part of interfered with my build
somehow. I _think_ that I took some download from Microsoft that
contained multiple installers, and extracted that to get just the
installer for the Universal CRT DLLs. Because I couldn't find just the
Universal CRT installer as a separate download at Microsoft.

I'll try to dig out/remember what I did exactly when I'm back at work
with access to the Windows build box.
