Summary0014490: Wrong Windows SDK location detected
DescriptionI use Visual Studio 2010 Express with SP1 and I installed the Windows SDK 7.1 into a non default/'standard' location (D:/3rdParty/WindowsSDK/7.1) yet CMake reports:

Found Windows SDK v7.1: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\

and then fails with:


CMake Error at C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/CMakeDetermineCompilerId.cmake:446 (execute_process):
  execute_process given COMMAND argument with no value.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/CMakeDetermineCompilerId.cmake:48 (CMAKE_DETERMINE_COMPILER_ID_VENDOR)
  C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/CMakeDetermineCXXCompiler.cmake:127 (CMAKE_DETERMINE_COMPILER_ID)
  CMakeLists.txt:62 (project)


ps. even if I did install it into the default location, the detected/reported location would still be wrong because it point to the 64 bit Program Files (whereas the SDK installs into the x86 version)

pps. I tried to solve the problem with directory symlinks but it did not help...

I forgot to mention that I'm trying to use the "Visual Studio 10 Win64" generator (that's why the Windows SDK is needed)...

The lookup takes place here:

http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob;f=Source/cmGlobalVisualStudio10Generator.cxx;hb=v2.8.12#l328 [^]

and simply uses the registry value

 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1;InstallationFolder

Thanks, I checked and the value in the registry is wrong so it appears that the SDK installer is broken (indeed I've found many reports of installation problems with this particular Windows SDK version)...so feel free to close the ticket...
