I am confused here....   All you did was put devenv in front of 
VCExpress?  

But in the cache you sent later you have this:

//make program
CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM:FILEPATH=C:/PROGRA~1/MID05A~1/Common7/IDE/VCExpress.exe


Also, this is strange, it seems to be running this:

C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~1\Common7\IDE\VCEXPR~1.EXE\VCExpress.exe

Which is odd, it has vcexpress.exe twice?

There are lots of folks using VCExpress with CMake here at Kitware, and
it works fine.   There must be something different about your installation.
