I think this is usually when you have Visual Studio installed, but
have not installed the Win64 parts of Visual Studio. Or it could also
be that you're using an Express Edition of Visual Studio, but have not
installed a 64-bit capable Platform SDK.

Verify that you can build a simple "hello world" Win64 executable with
Visual Studio alone (i.e., not using CMake) -- after you are
successful at that task, the 32-bit CMake will "just work" on the same
Visual Studio.
