I don't have my windows machine fired up at the moment so I can not
check this out but that _should_ have really worked.
Seems like maybe a bug with cpack?
And yes, quoting _can_ be this difficult.. at least IMO.

Thanks. However that doesn't help things either. I have hardcoded the
"C:\Program Files" string, though in place of the ENV variables, and
it's
happy with that. This looks like it may be a cmake bug. I'm sure cmake
quoting isn't supposed to be this hard.

Yep, sorry about that, too early over here, Try this.
SET(CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX "$ENV{ProgramFiles}/${PROJECT_NAME}_$
{VERSION}")
IF (WIN32)
STRING(REPLACE "\\" "\\\\" CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX $
{CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX} )
STRING(REPLACE "/" "\\\\" CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX $
{CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX} )
endif()
That should replace all '\' with '\\' and '/' with '\\' so the path
becomes correct, I use something like this in my own cmake files to
encode paths into a configured header file.

Unfortunately neither of those work for me. (This is with Cmake
2.6.1, BTW)
e.g. with the /, I get:
CMake Error: Invalid escape sequence \P
Syntax error in cmake code at
C:/Program Files/CMake 2.6/share/cmake-2.6/Modules/CPack.cmake:788:
syntax error, unexpected cal_ERROR, expecting $end (4), when parsing
string "C:\Program Files/MDP_1.0.0"
This looks like it's complaining about the interpolated "C:\Program"
part of the text, rather than my later backslashes.

SET(CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX "$ENV{ProgramFiles}\\${PROJECT_NAME}_$
{VERSION}")
or
SET(CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX "$ENV{ProgramFiles}/${PROJECT_NAME}_$
{VERSION}")
Strings in CMake are like C Strings. '\' is special so it needs to be
escaped with another '\'. You can also use the normal '/' and cmake
_should_ do the right thing with it.
