<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div>I installed visual studio express on a brand new windows 7 machine yesterday (brand new installed; liteally all it has on it is visual studio express 12 and cmake), and I encountered similar troubles.<br>
<br></div>1) As described in this thread, msbuild wasn't found by default:<br><a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12434696/visual-studio-express-2012-and-cmake/19206854#19206854">http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12434696/visual-studio-express-2012-and-cmake/19206854#19206854</a><br>
<br></div>2) After correcting<code> CMakeVS12FindMake.cmake</code> to detect msbuild, it generated the project, but the project wouldn't run. It said that the 'specified build configuration was not found' and that I should attempt to upgrade the project.<br>
<br></div><div>However, visual studio express didn't have an upgrade option on the solution (which is should) and in the end I was forced to upgrade the project using VS pro at work this morning.<br></div><br></div>Anyway, long story short: I'm fairly certain that its currently not possible to build cmake projects with visual studio express 2012 on windows 7. <br>
<br>~<br></div>Doug.<br><br></div>(PS. After reading this thread I did perform an repair, but as expected, the difficulties appear to be that 1) the path in the config file is wrong and 2) VS express doesn't have a functioning devenv.exe to perform upgrades with; it didn't fix anything)<br>

That is the only differentiator I can think of. That or I am just stupid and not using CMake right. I have selected Visual Studio 11 (_not_ Win64 or ARM). Other than that, I am doing everything just like I do for VS 2008, but the projects won't load. I have noticed that Visual Studio 9 says "Visual Studio 9 2008", unlike 2012 which says just "Visual Studio 11", but I assume that is just a naming oddity.</div>

> I have been using CMake for a project and it works great with Visual Studio 2008 Express and on Linux. I recently installed VS 2012 Express on my machine (VS 2008 is still installed), and installed CMake 2.8.11.2 (downloaded yesterday) to have VS2012 support. While CMake finds the compiler for Visual Studio 11 and generates the project and solution files, when I try to open these files in VS 2012 Express, the solution loads but the projects all fail to load. When I tell them to reload from within VS, I get a "This operation could not be completed. No such interface supported" error.<br>
