Indeed I have tried several ways to create and build projects without using CMake at all, and so far no luck--I still get "requires elevation" errors.  I don't have a solution for my problem yet but it appears that whatever it is that is stopping me from building projects, CMake does not cause the problem.

Thanks to everyone for the helpful advice, which significantly narrowed down the possible sources of error.
