[CMake] Problem using VS 2012 Express and CMake

[Michael Jackson]

I am running CMake 2.8.10.1 on Windows 7 x64 (inside a VM) and have Visual Studio 2012 Express installed (SP2 level) and I can definitely configure my project with CMake, open the solution file and build with VS express. Possibly the differentiating factor is that I also installed the "Windows Software Development Kit" so that I could also use QtCreator BUT maybe this allowed VS Express to work correctly with CMake?

Just another data point.
