Although this is not really a CMake problem, this thread now comes up in the Google search results for symptoms similar to mine, so it seems useful to post a resolution in case someone else comes upon this thread for that reason. Running the IDE as administrator (not as simple as just "opening" an .sln file, unfortunately), I found another underlying error for which an answer is given at http://stackoverflow.com/a/10890428 . In summary, after I did a web-based installation of Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1, I was able to build a project created in the IDE, I was able use CMake to generate projects, and I was able to build the projects generated by CMake. Incidentally, when I first got CMake and the compilers to run correctly, I was only able to do it by running CMake or DEVENV as administrator. Not so coincidentally, somehow during all the installing/uninstalling/attempted fixes I had applied, CL.EXE had been set to run as Administrator for all users. It turns out that when I UNDID this setting (so CL.EXE does not always run as Administrator), CMake and the compilers succeeded without my having to take any special steps to run anything as administrator. Go figure.
