Don't!

C:/Program Files and C:/Program Files (x86) are special directories on 
Windows, where only installers run by the administrator are supposed to be 
able to write.

In CMake-GUI, choose C:/Program Files (x86)/CGAL-3.9/ as the source 
directory, 
but a *user directory* as the binary directory.

What is more, even if you would have the bad (stupid?) idea to run cmake-gui 
as the administrator, the parenthesis in the name of "C:/Program Files (x86)" 
cause a bug in some macros of CMake, and that may also explain why you have 
an 
unpredictable behavior of CMake.
