The logic can all be found here:

Modules/CMakeVS10FindMake.cmake

It is a very small file.  Obviously needs a bit of work.  It is finding 
devenv.com on your machine when it should not.  We should most likely 
check the version of what is found.  For the IDE PATH, LIB and INCLUDE 
are not used or required.  PATH will be used if it finds devenv.com.  In 
your case that is most likely what is happening.

If you had a machine with only VS 10 express it would have worked fine. :)

It is very hard to test things like this... :)


If you can tweak the CMake code in Modules/CMakeVS10FindMake.cmake and 
make it work on your machine, that would be great.

Thanks.
