The PR is for the 5.7 branch because we need it for the ROCm 5.7 release on Windows.
It is unusual on Windows to install to
C:\Program Files
manually. It requires Administrator privilege, which is not standard or not easily granted. Only applications managed by the Windows installer are allowed to install in that directory, andcmake install
is not one of them.Installing tests in a custom directory given to CMake is also impossible when
HEADER_INSTALL_PREFIX
is set toC:/Program Files
. Moreover, the directoryC:\Program Files
is for 64-bit applications only. In the case of 32-bit, the installer should use theC:\Program Files (x86)
directory instead.The separate PRs will add that change to the current development branch.
