[CMake] "Interface not registered" error in Visual Studio after running cmake

[Mark Jones]

Hi David,

I am up to date on my service packs.  It is possible that something else
other than cmake is at fault here as I can not say with 100% certainty that
I could edit macros immediately before the cmake install (it has been weeks
since I last edited a macro), but I wanted to check with the list in case
others have run into this.

Mark
