<div>Hi,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am trying to set up a customized installation directory via CPack on Windows.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It should be pretty straightforward by setting something like:</div>
<div> set(CPACK_NSIS_INSTALL_ROOT "D:")</div>
<div> set(CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY "mylib")</div>
<div>should get a path of "D:\mylib" , but surprisingly it doesn't work. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I added that two lines based on the example in <a href="http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:Component_Install_With_CPack"><font color="blue"><u>http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:Component_Install_With_CPack</u></font></a> </div>
<div>then got this path: "C:\Users\myname\Documents\mylib\", apparently CPACK_NSIS_INSTALL_ROOT is not set.</div>
<div><font face="Times New Roman"> </font></div>
<div>Then I tried many options and found that the CPACK_NSIS_INSTALL_ROOT must contains a '/' to make it working:</div>
<div>By adding following:</div>
<div> set(CPACK_NSIS_INSTALL_ROOT "D:/")</div>
<div> set(CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY "mylib")</div>
<div>will get path: "D:/\mylib\"</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This is weird because this path is absolutely not a valid path.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>How can I get a path of “D:\mylib” ?</div>
<div><font face="Times New Roman"> </font></div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
