[CMake] Reading registry broken on Windows 7?

[Celil Rufat]

On a Windows 7 machine I cannot read any registry values that contain a
semicolon.

For example if you have 7-zip, running the following

SET(MYPATH  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\7-Zip;Path])
MESSAGE("MYPATH = ${MYPATH}")

results in

MYPATH = [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\7-Zip;Path]

instead of the actual path as per the following thread

http://www.mail-archive.com/cmake@cmake.org/msg19014.html

I think registry paths that contain ";" are broken on Windows 7. Can
somebody confirm this? Is there any work-around?
