Ben, "Where is the source code" should point to the top-level directory that contains the top-level CMakeLists.txt file.
For step two, you need to browse to the directory that contains the CMakeLists.txt file instead of the CMakeLists.txt file itself (just as the CMake error indicates). It sounds like a very minor glitch in the documentation. Anyone who has used CMake on Windows is familiar with this process; therefore, they probably did not scrutinize the documentation. Hope this helps!
