Bill,

This is what I see:
CMakeTmp/
   Bool/
      CMakeTmp/
   Char/
      CMakeTmp/
   TestExplicitInstantiation/
      A.h
      CMakeLists.txt
      A.cxx
      B.cxx
      Build/
         A.proj
         ALL_BUILD.proj
         B.vcproj
         cmake.check_cache
         CMakeCache.txt
         INSTALL.vcproj
         A.vcproj.cmake
         ALL_BUILD.vcproj.cmake
         B.vcproj.cmake
         cmake_install.cmake
         EXPLICIT.sln
         ISNTALL.vcproj.cmake

The interesting thing is that when I do View 
 Tiles in explorer, the details of the files the .sln
file have an attribute version which is usually set to
a value... but not in these projects and solutions. 
When I try to load the solution, it complains of not
having the version attribute set in the projects too
so the projects don't load.
