[CMake] CMake 3.9.0 Windows zip file shows wrong version

[David Cole]

I suspect you are running a different cmake, not the one you've unzipped.

Type "where cmake" instead of "cmake --version" and Windows will list
the directories where it finds an executable named cmake. The first
one it lists is the one it is running when you type "cmake
--version"...

If you want to force the one you've downloaded to run instead of that
one, you could **prepend** to the PATH instead of appending to it.


HTH,
David C.
