I am new in VTK and CMake. Ihave already install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 and CMake 2.8 and I have VTK 5.6.1. 
Now when I want to install VTK, I run CMake and give the source and build location and specify MS visual studio 9.0 and click 
configure buton. Then I saw the following error message: 
Kaspersky Anti-virus show the following message: 
C:\...\CMAKE 2.8\BIN\CMAKE-GUI.EXE (PID:1776); Behavior similar to PDM.RootShell.Allowed. 

Then CMake gave the following error: 

Check for working C compiler using: Visual Studio 9 2008
Check for working C compiler using: Visual Studio 9 2008 -- broken
CMake Error at C:/Program Files/CMake 2.8/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake:52 (MESSAGE): 
The C compiler "cl" is not able to compile a simple test program.

It fails with the following output:
