[CMake] How to use sudo in CTest

I have a suite of CTests that install and test our product on Ubuntu.

The installer requires sudo to run. I have been running the whole suite 
as sudo, which is not a great idea.

So I have toyed with trying to run just the installer with sudo, but no 
luck so far.

I configured sudo to run without asking for a password and that runs fine.

But these CTest COMMANDS do not:

add_test(NAME install COMMAND sudo ./vainstall aParameter )

add_test(NAME install COMMAND "sudo ./vainstall aParameter" )

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.
