Don't edit the _FULLPATH version of the name in the cache.  It is an
INTERNAL entry and will not be preserved.  Edit the CMAKE_RC_COMPILER
entry that shows up in the advanced cache values in the GUI.

Is "rc" in your path?  Can you run "rc" from the command prompt where
you started CMakeSetup?  I have a machine with VCExpress 2005 and CMake
has no problem configuring VTK or setting CMAKE_RC_COMPILER.
