Also, the default in cmake-gui is to prompt the user with "the same generator you used last time" as the default value for 2nd and subsequent runs of cmake-gui on any given machine by a given user...
So if you choose Win64 once in cmake-gui, and you always use cmake-gui... you'll get it as the default combo-box choice for any new build trees after that.
