If you are using cmake 2.6.X then its probably not in your path. You
can put the cmake-2.6/bin folder in your path or just change
directory to the bin folder in cmake.
Or try just opening cmake-gui from explorer. I would create a shortcut
for that and put it on the desktop and get rid of the shortcut to the
deprecated cmake. In most cases you will not need to run this from a
command prompt. I do not do that often.
