[CMake] CPack: debugging project.nsi file - unknown variable

[Torri, Stephen CIV NSWCDD, W15]

Now that I have a libraries being linked in correctly its time to move to using CPack. The cpack utility failed to execute "makensis.exe project.nsi". When I looked in the NSISOutput.log I see a few warnings:
 
warning: unknown variable/constant "{headers}" detected, ignoring (macro:Deselect_required_by_libraries:1)
warning: unknown variable/constant "{headers}" detected, ignoring (macro:Deselect_required_by_libraries:4)
 
Followed by some errors:
 

		Error in macro Deselect_required_by_libraries on macroline 5

		Error in macro MaybeSelectionChanged on macroline 10

		Error in macro SectionList on macroline 3

		Error in script "project.nsi" on line 831 -- aborting creation process

After look at the script I found the first offending macro:

!macro Deselect_required_by_libraries
  SectionGetFlags ${headers} $0
  IntOp $1 ${SF_SELECTED} ~
  IntOp $0 $0 & $1
  SectionSetFlags ${headers} $0
  IntOp $headers_selected 0 + 0
!macroend 

I must have failed to set something up in either the project CMakeLists.txt file or a child project. Where is ${headers} defined? In my project's CMakeLists.txt files I typically grouped my headers by:

FILE (GLOB HEADERS *.h)

Which then I used that variable in the file as:

add_library ( child ${SOURCE} ${HEADERS} )

INSTALL ( FILES ${HEADERS} DESTINATION include/${PROJECT_NAME}/child )

The INSTALL line was written for Linux so I will have to change that for Windows. I would want the headers to be installed in the installation directory on Windows like:

C:\Program Files\Project\include

I am not sure what files are best to send to help debug this problem.
