You want the Win32 installer. Simply download and run the installer. Accept the defaults for everything except when it asks you to add CMake to the system path. For this choice, tell it to add CMake to the system path for all users.

  • Now there will be an entry for CMake on your start menu. Click the CMake shortcut there to run CMake. You will see a window like the one shown below:

  • This dialog box is asking two simple questions. It wants to know where the source code is and where you want to place the output. Populate the form as shown above and hit the configure button.

Next you will see a screen like the one shown below: CMake WinXPCMake24 Generator.jpg

  • Select the environment (IDE) you plan to use and click OK. You will see a bunch of status messages in the status bar of the main form. It will take a while for this configuration process to complete.

Next you will see a screen that looks like this:

The red bars will change to little gray ones as shown below:
