For me in Visual Studio 2019 Windows worked
I downloaded files from
https://github.com/CGAL/cgal/releases/download/v5.2/CGAL-5.2.zip
https://github.com/CGAL/cgal/releases/download/v5.2/CGAL-5.2-win64-auxiliary-libraries-gmp-mpfr.zip

In visual studio I had project linking to CGAL-5.1.1. I changed the ending to CGAL-5.2 for C++ to link headers:
