I would first upgrade to cmake-2.8.2. There were a few bugs in 2.8.0
that were fixed months ago with 2.8.2. After that I would check if you
have write permissions on d:\itk. But wait a minute, did you set the
build folder to be d:\Itk with the source to be the same location. Its
much better to not have the build folder and source folder on the same
tree. So for example if your source is in D:\ITK put your build tree
in d:\Build\ITK
