Although this is not really a CMake problem, this thread now comes up in the Google search results for symptoms similar to mine, so it seems useful to post a resolution in case someone else comes upon this thread for that reason. Running the IDE as administrator (not as simple as just "opening" an .sln file, unfortunately), I found another underlying error for which an answer is given at http://stackoverflow.com/a/10890428 . In summary, after I did a web-based installation of Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1, I was able to build a project created in the IDE, I was able use CMake to generate projects, and I was able to build the projects generated by CMake. Incidentally, when I first got CMake and the compilers to run correctly, I was only able to do it by running CMake or DEVENV as administrator. Not so coincidentally, somehow during all the installing/uninstalling/attempted fixes I had applied, CL.EXE had been set to run as Administrator for all users. It turns out that when I UNDID this setting (so CL.EXE does not always run as Administrator), CMake and the compilers succeeded without my having to take any special steps to run anything as administrator. Go figure.

CMAKE_ROOT was an ENV variable used by a script outside of CMake that (in the more complicated build that I was originally describing) would invoke the actual CMake executable. I've been using that script for so long I had forgotten where the requirement for CMAKE_ROOT came from. As it turns out, in at least one of the command windows where I tried the "hello world" test case, I did not actually set CMAKE_ROOT after all. That symbol (or lack of it) does not seem to have any bearing on the problem I'm experiencing.

Re: [CMake] Unable to create project files with Visual Studio 2010 on Windows 7
What do you mean when you say "I set CMAKE_ROOT to a directory" ?? That should not be necessary, no matter how you're running cmake... Is that an ENV var or a CMake variable you're setting somewhere?

Re: [CMake] Unable to create project files with Visual Studio 2010 on Windows 7
A small correction: the problem with "The C compiler identification is unknown" seems to have been due to the fact that I forgot to open that particular command window as administrator. In a new command window, run as administrator, both -G "Visual Studio 10" and -G "Visual Studio 10 Win64" produce the "required elevation" error, same as before. Go figure.

Re: [CMake] Unable to create project files with Visual Studio 2010 on Windows 7
I tried this with a CMakeLists file that contains only a PROJECT and ADD_EXECUTABLE (with a single C++ source file). The only things present in the directory before running CMake were the C++ file, CMakeLists.txt, and a batch file that I used to run CMake. I still get the "requires elevation" error even when I run cmake.exe from a command line as administrator. It also doesn't seem to matter whether I select Visual Studio 10 or Visual Studio 10 Win64 as my generator. I thought maybe the problem was that I didn't "install" CMake, rather (as I've been doing for years, due to the way this project is version-controlled) I set CMAKE_ROOT to a directory that happens to contain the CMake files and then ran a copy of cmake.exe. I just tried the exercise again after doing a regular installation of CMake 3.1.0 (using default choices only) and came up with the same result. (Actually not quite: now -G "Visual Studio 10" says "The C compiler identification is unknown", and only -G "Visual Studio 10 Win64" produces the "elevation" error, whereas with my previous uninstalled version both generators resulted in "elevation".)

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