I try to build simple project using version 3.7.1-win64-x64 in windows 7 64 bit with windows SDK 7.1 installed (no visual studio 2010 installed)

The demo project is available at: http://pastebin.com/EFfj4yX3, and the attach contain all source and generated files.

In the shortcut "Windows SDK 7.1 Command Prompt", I run the command :

cmake -G "Visual Studio 10 Win64" .

I get error:

-- The C compiler identification is unknown
-- The CXX compiler identification is unknown

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:2 (project):
  No CMAKE_C_COMPILER could be found.
  
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:2 (project):
  No CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER could be found.
  
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

When using the version : cmake-3.6.3-win64-x64 , it success, with the result:

-- The C compiler identification is MSVC 16.0.30319.1
-- The CXX compiler identification is MSVC 16.0.30319.1
