Adding CUDA to my PROJECT(4DRTProto CXX CUDA)

Yields:


CMake Error at 
C:/projects/4DRTProto/4DRTProto_3rdParty/platform/tools/cmake-3.9.0-rc6-win64-x64/share/cmake-3.9/Modules/CMakeTestCUDACompiler.cmake:45 
(message):
   The CUDA compiler "C:/Program Files/NVIDIA GPU Computing
   Toolkit/CUDA/v8.0/bin/nvcc.exe" is not able to compile a simple test
   program.

   It fails with the following output:

   CMake will not be able to correctly generate this project.

And so it goes the CMake, CUDA, Visual Studio Experience.  Maybe time to 
revert back to FindCUDA in CMAKE version 3.2.  Sure is awesome.
