I cannot judge about microsoft. But this looks like fundamental error.
What you can do is:
1.) create a simple CMakeLists.txt file with content

        cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6.4)
        project(foo)

2.) call "cmake ."

The output should look somehow like this (on linux)
        1.55 amd64.kornel 13:12 > cmake .

        -- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 4.8.4

        -- Configuring done
        -- Generating done
        -- Build files have been written to: /usr2/kornel/tmp/cmake

and post the errors to the cmake users list
        "cm...@cmake.org" <cm...@cmake.org>

Mine looks like this:

-- Building for: Visual Studio 14 2015
-- The C compiler identification is unknown
-- The CXX compiler identification is unknown

I have to stop this project for a while. It seems just a bit too cumbersome.
