[CMake] Install command incorrectly installing archive libraries

[Stephen Torri]

Using the single command will place the release libraries into the
lib/release directory when using the -C Release flag with CPack. If I
do -C Debug flag with CPack then the PDB files are installed to
lib/debug but the libraries are installed to lib/release. Any reason
why this single command would behave that way?
