[CMake] VC2010 Express + CMake = fails

[Robert Dailey]

I think though that by default, no visual studio installations place the
install path in PATH in the environment. So if I'm remembering correctly
and that is true, what other means does it use? Does it use the registry at
all? If you could kindly describe the search path it uses that would be
very helpful. The only other way for me to figure this out is to skim the
source code, which would be very time consuming! Hopefully you can save me
some time :)

Thanks!
