Dear ParaView Experts,  
I am getting the above shown error when I am building PV-5.6.0 in Windows 7 using MSVS2013 express compiler.

I am running _VS2013 x86 Native Tools Command Prompt_ and then in that window launching cmake-gui.

Please help me on resolving this issue.

Kind Regards  
Tarun

Using _VS2013 x86 Native Tools Command Prompt_ means your ParaView build will be 32 bits, which you probably don’t want, and as you can see is not supported when building Python.

Use _VS2013 x64 Native Tools Command Prompt_ instead.
