Do you have access to another Windows machine, or another Windows OS 
installation?  Your error sounds rather sick and wrong, so I would first 
eliminate your system as a source of problems.  If you or other people 
can reproduce the behavior on other systems, then there's probably 
something wrong with CMake.  Or if not, then there's something wrong 
with your system.

Another thing you can do is write a trivial CMakeLists.txt and see if 
you can configure that.  If it blows up then you have another sign of 
trouble, as it means just about anything would blow up.  Example trivial 
CMakeLists.txt:


ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET(test
  COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E echo "CMake 2.4.3 does not handle 
apostrophes."
)
