The GUI and splash screen and about dialog all say "Visual Studio 2010 ...", but the installation directory is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0". I think the problem is... these strings are used as "-G" arguments to CMake. So... we cannot take away the -G strings that already work. But I suppose if we wanted to "make things consistent" someday within CMake, we could keep all the existing -G strings and keep them working the same as they do now, but then make the new and improved version have all consistent strings, referenced in a good order and with good phrasing. Comments indicating what people think is "good" here would be most welcome in this bug entry: http://vtk.org/Bug/view.php?id=10158 Thanks a lot, David
