[CMake] Problem using VS 2012 Express and CMake

Tue Oct 8 19:22:31 EDT 2013

Has anyone been able to get the newest cmake release (2.8.11.2) working
with Visual Studio 2013 Express RC? I've been trying yet cmake cannot
identify the C/CXX compilers, "The CXX compiler identification is unknown".
Anyone have any suggestions?
