It's not a Windows 8 thing at all... Same symptom occurs on Windows 7. It's CMake generating this incorrectly: # Visual Studio 2011 When it should be generating: # Visual Studio 11 Since the comment there does not start with the expected string, the launcher does not recognize it. This commit just pushed to 'next' should fix it: http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=f0d66ab40aee3af3d201201e7b1275783ffbab36 That commit will make it into the next rev of CMake.
