Summary0011740: NMake improperly located
DescriptionIn InstallRequiredSystemLibraries.cmake, the location of vc redist is inferred either from the registry or from the location of cmake command.

The latter does not work when running with "NMake Makefiles" generator. Line 50, 51 the values are:
CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is nmake
so devenv_dir is set to ""
so base_dir is set to ""

This would work only if CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM was an absolute path.
Steps To Reproduce
Additional InformationThis feature is important if building from a non standard installation of Visual Studio, which happen to be the case on our build farm. The registry key are not set. The whole build works, except for nmake install. It is missing MSVC90.dll, and InstallSystemRequiredLibraries won't work, unless customized.

Sending old, not-recently-updated issues to the backlog.

(The age of the bug alone means that nobody is actively working on it...)

If an issue you care about is sent to the backlog when you feel it should have been addressed in a different manner, please bring it up on the CMake mailing list for discussion. Sign up for the mailing list here, if you're not already on it: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake [^]

It's easy to re-activate a bug here if you can find a CMake developer who has the bandwidth to take it on, and ferry a fix through to our 'next' branch for dashboard testing.
