If I understand your use case right (which I might not as you haven't
described what you're trying to do, just how you're trying to do it),
maybe you can just override CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.

If you go this route, check the archives because of the whole
_INITIALIZED_TO_DEFAULT aspect of that particular cache variable.
