I have generated VTK542 using cmake and cmake does create a new folder with stuff inside, but this folder differs from what I meant. In that folder there are:
 
- Cmake
- CmakeFiles
- CmakeTmp
- Common
- Filtering
- GenericFIltering
- Geovis
- Graphics
- Hybrid
... and so on
 
what I was expecting to have is a folder with only:
 
 - bin
 - include
 - lib
 
inside, so that I can reference the "bin" folder into my VS2005 project and start programming with VTK. I can't find that "bin" folder in the data Cmake created. Do I have to do something else so that that "bin" and "lib" folders are created?

But somehow, no matter which File I download from the VTK-site, I never manage to install VTK 5.4.2 in that way as VTK 4.2 is installed on my PC, namely as a simple folder with following folders in it:

You need to build vtk from source. Install CMake and select the
configuration options you want. As for the directory structure you
really should be generating your visual studio projects for vtk using
cmake so the paths, directory structure ... of vtk should be totally
unimportant. CMake handles all of that for you.
