Many thanks for your message; what I will do now is backup my VTK
folder, then instead of using Visual Studio 2010 Pro, I will download
the latest version of Visual Studio C++ Express, which is 2013 I
think, and try using DMake again form scratch. In the process I will
note exactly what I did, so if these problems persist, I will have a
record.
