[vtkusers] Activiz 6.2 with VTK-6.2 and .NET 4.0 Build Success

Wed Sep 23 18:54:51 EDT 2015

Thank you Mark,
I'm downloading VS Standard which provides the x64 mode when generating
with Cmake. I was using VS express and selecting just Visual Studio 9 in
Cmake.
I will give it a try tomorrow
Thanks.
