That does not add the link directories before the target.  Try this:

PROJECT(MyProject)
LINK_DIRECTORIES( "d:/dcmtk-3.5.3" )
ADD_EXECUTABLE(MyProject WIN32 file2.cpp )
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(MyProject dcmdata.lib)

Now the MyProject executable will have the given set of link 
directories.  You can also do this:

ADD_EXECUTABLE(MyProject WIN32 file2.cpp )
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(MyProject d:/dcmtk-3.5.3/dcmdata.lib)
