Cmake Visual Studio 2013 error

I am trying to run a simple program through cmake gui and I receive the following output. I am not really sure what the problem is and forgive me, because I am quite new to this. I have also uninstalled and installed visual studio 2012 and 2013 to see if that would make a difference. I am using Visual Studio 2013 as the compiler and get the following configuration error.

My environment is :
Windows 7 enterprise 64 bit
Cmake gui 2.8.12.2
Visual Studio 2013 Professional

The C compiler identification is MSVC 18.0.21005.1
The CXX compiler identification is MSVC 18.0.21005.1
Check for working C compiler using: Visual Studio 12
Check for working C compiler using: Visual Studio 12 -- broken

  It fails with the following output:

Try to generate build system in the folder C:/Tmp to test if the problem is related to corrupted cache or path issues. To build it to the folder stated in the question:

  • Check that you do have write permission in "PM&R" personal folders
  • Remove cmake cache when you change the generator
