When running CTest on windows systems, you need the same environment variables like when starting the MITK application. It would be nice to have a batch file similar to the batch file for starting Visual Studio (StartVS_release.bat and StartVS_debug.bat) to start CTest.

It's easy to create such a batch file: Use the same environment variables as in the VS batch file but add the binary folder of CMake. Then call CTest instead of Visual Studio afterwards.

An example:

@set CL=/D_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE /D_CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE
@set LINK=/LARGEADDRESSAWARE
