4. Open the “Cap’n Proto” solution in Visual Studio.

Leads to an error on point 7 because CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is "C:/Program
Files/..." by default, which requires administrative permissions to access.

4. Open the “Cap’n Proto” solution in Visual Studio as administrator.
The above addition hints at the solution to the issue.

Hmm, but we shouldn't be telling people they need to run as Administrator
to do things.

Maybe the install prefix should default somewhere else? Harris, any
thoughts?

I agree with Kenton. I think we definitely should not advocate running
Visual Studio as Administrator, but we could adjust step 3 to add the

cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<prefix>

with explanatory text about what <prefix> means, and adjusting step 7 to
use the same notional <prefix> variable -- I imagine most developers
wouldn't want to install their dependencies in C:/Program Files/... anyway.
