This seems to work, although I don't think it's the ideal solution:
CMakeLists.txt
install (FILES drivers/driver.dll
DESTINATION sysdir/)
set (CPACK_NSIS_EXTRA_INSTALL_COMMANDS "
CopyFiles \\\"$INSTDIR\\\\sysdir\\\\driver.dll\\\" \\\"$SYSDIR\\\"
")
This gets the dll into the windows system directory, but there are still some
issues I'm sorting through:
Versioning of the dll: what if the file was already there and there is already
a newer version?
How to uninstall only if nothing else is using the dll.
It appears that nsis has some helper functions: UpgradeDLL, AddSharedDLL, but
I'm not sure yet how to include/call them through CMakeLists.txt. Does anyone
have any insight? Thanks!

They're device driver dlls for use system-wide.

What's the reason they need to be there?

You should avoid this if at all possible.
Install dlls next to your program, not in the system32 directory.
Do you have a reason you need to install a dll there?
