[CMake] CMake Dependence on C: drive?

Seems strange. Just yesterday I pulled down 3.13.4 and had no issues. I
check cmake into our repo so it gets invoked on an assortment of different
drives. I do the same thing you do and just change our bat config file to
point to the new cmake binary. Never had any issues.

I am running on Win7 but colleagues use Win10 and have not had any issues
either.

All that to say: shouldn’t be an issue.
