The "The requested operation requires elevation." message indicates some sort of permissions problem (admin privileges...)
Did you run VS and/or CMake as an admin one time, and then not as an admin a second time...? It should work with either all-non-admin runs or all-admin runs, but you probably can't mix-n-match from run to run. Can you start with a very simple hello world app, in a brand new "empty to start with" directory, and run CMake and VS without admin privileges? Or do you get exactly the same thing if you do that?
