[CMake] Check for working C compiler using: Visual Studio 10 -- broken

[Mateusz Loskot]

Hi,

Here is my environment:
- Windows 7 (64-bit).
- CMake 2.8.10.2
- Visual Studio 2010 Professional
- Visual Studio 2012 Professional (Update 1)

All VS installations work well with hand-crafted projects,
no problems building from IDE, no problems building from
corresponding command line prompts.

I launch Visual Studio Command Prompt (2010) and try to configure
CMake-based project, and I'm getting the status from the subject line.

Here is detailed CMake output:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
d:\dev\soci\_git\build-sqlite3>cmake -G "Visual Studio 10" ..\soci\src

  The C compiler "C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio

  It fails with the following output:

I have searched Web and this kind of error seems to be recurring,
some users even suggest to uninstall/reinstall Visual Studio...
Note, both VS versions work well with projects I already have.

I'm confused, what is the correct solution?

Best regards,
