[CMake] cpack issues

[David Cole]

Use:

  DESTINATION ${PROJECT_NAME}

instead of the full path you're trying to use.

If you use a full path in a CMake install rule, then CPack does not put it
inside the directory that NSIS packs up to build the installer... If you
use a non-full path, then for "make install" it gets put under
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX, and for the CPack-based install, it gets put in the
directory that NSIS packs up...


HTH,
David
