I just hit "Build Solution" which caused ZERO_CHECK project to run because
my CMakeLists.txt file had changed.  ZERO_CHECK ran CMake which attempted to
generate a new solution.  Typically this results in a good new project and
the VS plugin detects this and asks me to load the new project files.
However in this case, the new project files could not be generated due to
the error.  For whatever reason VS keeps going even though the ZERO_CHECK
target failed.
