Hi Marie,

It sounds like VC++ is not in your path

http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2004-January/004686.html

At the very least you need cl in your path; its probably here
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin\cl.exe

I have all these directories in my path:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\BIN
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\VCPackages
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Tools
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\bin

There should have been an option in the VC++ setup to do this for you.
