[CMake] Cannot run/debug cmake project with MSVC 2010 which works well in Linux

[David Cole]

Right click on "textureBackProjection" and choose "Set as StartUp
Project" -- after that, F5 will launch the executable for that
project.

If you are receiving error messages at launch after doing that, then
please send them along so we can help you get further along...


HTH,
David
