I think you get that error because you are trying to build CGAL libraries 
with 
CMAKE_BINARY_DIR inside C:\Program Files (x86)\. You can install CGAL sources 
here, but your compilation tree (the so-called CMAKE_BINARY_DIR) must be 
somewhere else, for example in a sub-directory of your "My Documents" folder.
