Summary0011531: CMAKE fails when registry key point to a path that use backslashs instead of slash
DescriptionWhen a cmake find module uses registry, if the path in the registry key uses windows standard directory separators "\", they are not converted to "/", and cmakes fails to expand the directory.
Steps To ReproduceIn a command shell:
REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\GnuWin32\Zlib /v InstallPath /d "D:\libraries\zlib" /f
REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\GnuWin32\Zlib /v InstallPath /d "D:\libraries\zlib" /f

Use FindZLIB.
An error occurs telling Zlib was not found.
If the "\" are replaced by "/", Zlib is found.

 I cannot reproduce this. My registry entry points at

  C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32

(with backslashes) and find_package(ZLIB) works. If I comment out the registry entry references in FindZLIB.cmake then it fails, so it is definitely using the registry to find zlib when it works.

 Closing for now. Please re-open if necessary with more specific instructions to reproduce.
