The environment should only matter with makefiles.  The IDE projects 
should work from any environment.



This is an interesting message:

'H:\dev\esp\trunk\main\models_build_win_msvc2008\CMakeFiles\CMakeTmp\CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE.sln'
   is from a previous version of this application and must be converted in
   order to build in this version of the application.  To convert the
   solution, open the solution in this version of the application.


It seems that it is using a different version of devenv to build the 
project than the generator that it is creating files for.

What are these values in your cache:
CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM:FILEPATH=C:/PROGRA~1/MICROS~1.0/Common7/IDE/devenv.com
MAKECOMMAND:STRING=C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~1.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.com 
CMake.sln /build Release /project ALL_BUILD
CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL:INTERNAL=C:/PROGRA~1/MICROS~1.0/Common7/IDE/devenv.com
