I have a cmake-based C++ project using boost and zmq libraries.
I'm trying to build it on Windows using Visual Studio Community 2017 and vcpkg.
I installed vcpkg following the instructions on the project page.
Now I can see the required packages installed:

I also ran .\vcpkg integrate install to enable integration:
PS C:\Users\me\source\repos\vcpkg> .\vcpkg integrate install
Applied user-wide integration for this vcpkg root.
All MSBuild C++ projects can now #include any installed libraries.
Linking will be handled automatically.
Installing new libraries will make them instantly available.
CMake projects should use: "-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=C:/Users/me/source/repos/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake"
Next, Visual Studio is able to open the CMake project right away. The only thing I need to add apparently is the toolchain file. So I go to CMakeLists.txt -> "Change CMake settings", and set "cmakeCommandArgs": "-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=C:/Users/me/source/repos/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake" for every target (there are 4 targets, debug/release x x86/x64).
But as soon as CMake is restarted, as I see in the Visual Studio's "Output" pane, still it can't find the dependencies:

Could not find a package configuration file provided by "ZeroMQ" with any

Add the installation prefix of "ZeroMQ" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
"ZeroMQ_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If "ZeroMQ"
provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been

In particular, the command line:

does contain the -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=C:/Users/me/source/repos/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake as it should be, but apparently this is not enough.
The relevant section of the CMakeLists.txt file about finding dependencies is:
if(WIN32)
set(CMAKE_WINDOWS_EXPORT_ALL_SYMBOLS ON)
set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS OFF)
set(Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED ON)
set(Boost_USE_STATIC_RUNTIME OFF)

endif()

find_package(Boost 1.54 REQUIRED COMPONENTS thread system regex timer filesystem serialization)
if(WIN32)
find_package(ZeroMQ CONFIG REQUIRED)
else()
find_package(ZMQ 4.1.4 REQUIRED)
endif()
find_package(ZLIB)
find_package(LZ4)
Am I making some obvious mistake?
