I try to pick up CMake build tool and manually install a copy of CMake directly from www.cmake.org.

Late on I start a CMake project inside Visual Studio 2019 enterprise, and find out CMake is installed already on my machine.

Also I notice, VS2019 version of CMake is up to date as my manual installation.

I just wonder how & When Visual Studio 2019 update this CMake tool?

What I have tried:

I installed manually CMake tool and check its version. then compare it with VS 2019 version of the CMake tool.
