The only solution I'm aware of is a Windows-selective destination, e.g.:

ADD_LIBRARY(test MODULE ...)
IF(WIN32)
    SET(MODDST bin CACHE STRING "...")
ELSE()
    SET(MODDST lib CACHE STRING "...")
ENDIF()
INSTALL(TARGETS test
  RUNTIME DESTINATION bin
  LIBRARY DESTINATION ${MODDST}
  ARCHIVE DESTINATION lib/static
  ...
)
