Windows10 install pycolmap error: " Could not find a package configuration file provided by "COLMAP" with any of the following names: COLMAPConfig.cmake colmap-config.cmake"

I have installed COLMAP according to the instruction. When I tried to install pycolmap. The errors came:

What is the problem? Could any expert help me? Thank you.

I tried to modify the cmakelist.txt but got " Found package configuration file: but it set COLMAP_FOUND to FALSE so package "COLMAP" is considered to be NOT FOUND."

What is the problem? Thank you.

I have never installed PyCOLMAP on Windows so I am not sure how to fix this.

Are you following the official installation instructions using VCPKG - https://github.com/colmap/pycolmap#windows?

I did follow the instructions.

I have installed pycolmap on Windows11 successfully. Please double-check you have added CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE to your system environment variable.
