[CMake] Problem configuring project for Visual Studio 2008 Win64

[Macumber, Daniel]

I have Visual Studio 2008 Pro and am having trouble with the Win64 generator. Things work fine for me using the 32 bit generator but when I choose the 64 bit one I get this:

CMake Error at C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake 2.8/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 2.8/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/CMakeDetermineCompilerId.cmake:48 (CMAKE_DETERMINE_COMPILER_ID_VENDOR)
C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake 2.8/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/CMakeDetermineCCompiler.cmake:131 (CMAKE_DETERMINE_COMPILER_ID)
CMakeLists.txt:3 (PROJECT)
The C compiler identification is unknown

I know there are issues with 64 bit builds and Visual Studio Express 2008, but I thought this was all supposed to be smooth using the professional version?  I am using CMake 2.8.12.1.

Any suggestions?
Dan
