Issue: Building Projects with Visual Studio and CUDA 12.5.1 on Windows

When attempting to build projects with the latest Visual Studio and CUDA 12.5.1_555.85 on Windows, the following error is encountered from msbuild:

Extended logs from CMake with NVCC_REPORT_ALLERROR environment variable show:

The issue seems similar to one described in an NVIDIA forum post, but not exactly the same.
