That is what that variable is supposed to expand to.

Fine, which variable should I then use in my INSTALL command?

In VTK, we use this construct to install possibly config specific files
(example from VTK/vtkGenerateVTKConfig.cmake):
==========================================================================

SET(DOLLAR "$")

# ...

IF(CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES)
  # There are multiple build configurations. Configure one
  # VTKConfig.cmake for each configuration.
  FOREACH(config ${CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES})
    SET(VTK_BUILD_TYPE_CONFIG ${config})
    CONFIGURE_FILE(${VTK_SOURCE_DIR}/VTKConfig.cmake.in
                   ${VTK_BINARY_DIR}/Utilities/${config}/VTKConfig.cmake
                   @ONLY IMMEDIATE)
  ENDFOREACH(config)

  # Install the config file corresponding to the build configuration
  # specified when building the install target. The BUILD_TYPE variable
  # will be set while CMake is processing the install files.
  IF(NOT VTK_INSTALL_NO_DEVELOPMENT)
    INSTALL(FILES
      ${VTK_BINARY_DIR}/Utilities/${DOLLAR}{BUILD_TYPE}/VTKConfig.cmake
      DESTINATION ${VTK_INSTALL_PACKAGE_DIR_CM24}
      COMPONENT Development
      )
  ENDIF(NOT VTK_INSTALL_NO_DEVELOPMENT)
ELSE(CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES)
  # There is only one build configuration. Configure one VTKConfig.cmake.
  SET(VTK_BUILD_TYPE_CONFIG ${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE})
  CONFIGURE_FILE(${VTK_SOURCE_DIR}/VTKConfig.cmake.in
                 ${VTK_BINARY_DIR}/Utilities/VTKConfig.cmake @ONLY IMMEDIATE)

  # Setup an install rule for the config file.
  IF(NOT VTK_INSTALL_NO_DEVELOPMENT)
    INSTALL(FILES
      ${VTK_BINARY_DIR}/Utilities/VTKConfig.cmake
      DESTINATION ${VTK_INSTALL_PACKAGE_DIR_CM24}
      COMPONENT Development
      )
  ENDIF(NOT VTK_INSTALL_NO_DEVELOPMENT)
ENDIF(CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES)

==========================================================================

Try this instead of what you wrote in the original bug report:
INSTALL(
  FILES ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/\${BUILD_TYPE}/${project}.pdb
  RUNTIME DESTINATION bin)

(notice the escaped $ sign and the reference to BUILD_TYPE which is defined in the generated cmake_install.cmake script... VTK using a DOLLAR variable is left-over from a time before CMake supported escaped dollar signs...)

See previous note explaining existing mechanism to achieve the desired result. Using ${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR} will not be supported in INSTALL rules.
