Note, Im running from inside visual studio...  I do realize for a makefile 
based system, I can run make install from inside the executable's build 
directory

Subject: [CMake] Install without building unittests

I asked this a couple of years ago, and the answer was "no"...

If you run tests, it doesn't automatically build tests...  So why does an 
install?

I would never release something into the wild with out running the tests...

But, for developer builds, were we need to install all the packages in order to 
run the applications, sometimes I just want to test the GUI which requires an 
install of the core application into the correct location, without building the 
1500+ (yes 1500) unittests, which can take 15-20 minutes to build on their 
own...

Is there anyway to break the dependency??

Scott
