[CMake] Unable to create project files with Visual Studio 2010 on Windows 7

[David.Karr at engilitycorp.com]

I have just started using a new Windows 7 host with Visual Studio 2010 Professional. When I call CMake to generate my project files, I get the following output in CMakeError.log:

==========================
Determining if the C compiler works failed with the following output:

==========================

The only thing I've changed in the output text is I replaced some user-specific directory names with underscores or "nnnnnnnnnnnn".

This project previously built just fine on Windows XP. Moreover, my coworker, who as far as we can tell set up his Windows 7 host the same way I did (modulo some things that shouldn't matter, such as I have a copy of Emacs and he doesn't), is able to build the same project files without error.

It may be noteworthy that after this failure, the file CMakeFiles\CMakeTmp\cmTryCompileExec.vcxproj does not exist, and there are no files whatsoever in CMakeFiles\CMakeTmp\cmTryCompileExec.dir\Debug.

I have been trying all kinds of suggestions I have found by looking up the message "The requested operation requires elevation." I have tried setting ownership of the directories (it turns out I owned them all along), I have tried setting access rights (already set to full access), I tried turning off UAC, and I even tried repairing the installation of Visual Studio 2010. None of it made any difference.

I've found some Web sites where some people have complained of problems when they had installed Visual Studio 2012 and tried to use Visual Studio 2010. But Visual Studio 2010 is the only version that has been installed on this host.

This has had me dead in the water for at least a day, unable to make any progress on my actual project. Does anyone have any ideas about where to even begin to look for solutions I haven't already tried?
