Summary0009236: CMake does not pick a good default generator on windows
DescriptionOn a Windows XP system with CMake 2.6-patch 4 and Visual C++ 2008 Express, cmake does not work out of the box, complaining that CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set. The cmake-gui will use the registry to figure out which version of Visual Studio is installed and use that as a default. If you give no -G to cmake on windows it defaults to VS6 right now.
Additional InformationExample:

C:\test>cmake C:\src\InsightToolkit-3.14.0
CMake Error: CMake was unable to find a build program corresponding to "Visual Studio 6". CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set. You probably need to select a different build tool.
CMake Error: Could not find cmake module file:C:/test/CMakeFiles/CMakeCCompiler.cmake
CMake Error: Could not find cmake module file:C:/test/CMakeFiles/CMakeCXXCompiler.cmake
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Workaround: Use cmake-gui, as it allows explicit selection of Visual C++ 2008 Express.
