[CMake] problems with Visual Studio Express 2013

Hi all
We're trying to build an application using ITK on Windows using Visual
Studio Express 2013 (downloads of all software happened last week, so I
guess we're up-to-date). Unfortunately, we get a lot of configuration errors
(see full list below), implying that CMake 2.8.12.2 has problems with this
compiler. The first one is like this:
CMake Error at C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake
2.8/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/CMakeDetermineCompilerId.cmake:311 (file):
file STRINGS file
"C:/Users/Sarah/Documents/Elective/PETPVC-master/bin/CMakeFiles/2.8.12.2/Com
pilerIdC/CompilerIdC.exe"
cannot be read.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake
2.8/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/CMakeDetermineCompilerId.cmake:41
(CMAKE_DETERMINE_COMPILER_ID_CHECK)
C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake
2.8/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/CMakeDetermineCCompiler.cmake:131
(CMAKE_DETERMINE_COMPILER_ID)
CMakeLists.txt:3 (PROJECT)
We first thought that we could get through this, as when pressing the
Configure button again, those warnings disappear, and we can generate the
project files, and VSE2013 loads them without problem, and indeed even can
compile. However, we do get a lot of errors building ITK. On closer
inspection, the compiler flags are not set properly (for instance, exception
handling is not enabled). Indeed, checking the CMake Advanced variables, all
compiler flags are just empty.
I did a tiny bit more of investigation to check if I can find the
CompilerIdC.exe files mentioned above. It isn't there. I do find a
CompilerIdC directory with projects files, a Debug directory with some
stuff, but no executable. (Sorry to be so vague, but this is all happening
on a student's computer to which I have no access to show you more detail).
Anything we can do?
Thanks
Kris
