An "install" of a CMake based project is invoked something like this from within a generated Visual Studio project:
cmake.exe -DBUILD_TYPE=$(Configuration) -P cmake_install.cmake If you dig into the (generated) cmake_install.cmake file, you'll see a chunk like this right near the top of the file: if(NOT DEFINED CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX) set(CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX "C:/Program Files (x86)/Tutorial") endif() One thing you could do is write your own custom install command that passes in a value of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX with the per-configuration suffix you're looking for. cmake.exe -DBUILD_TYPE=${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR} -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR} -P cmake_install.cmake HTH, David C.
