&gt; Interesting that it works for you. Are you definitely using VS2012, not the<br>

&gt; I believe the issue I&#39;m experiencing is related to:<br>

&gt; Ie. In VS2013 the tools version changes from 4.0 as msbuild is moved out of<br>
&gt; the framework.<br>
&gt; However, I believe that this has mistakenly been put in the VS2012<br>

&gt;&gt; &gt; Anyway, long story short: I&#39;m fairly certain that its currently not<br>
&gt;&gt; &gt; possible to build cmake projects with visual studio express 2012 on<br>
&gt;&gt; &gt; windows 7.<br>
&gt;&gt; &gt; Use CMake 2.8.11 and it will work, there seems to be a fix in there.<br>
&gt;&gt; &gt; Had to use the VS2011 generator but it works. Test in a Windows 7 x64<br>
&gt;&gt; &gt; virtual machine with CMake 2.8.11 and Visual Studio Express 2012 for<br>
