Summary0014724: InstallRequiredSystemLibraries does not work with component-based installers
DescriptionThe InstallRequiredSystemLibraries CMake module includes code which invokes the install() command (see the end of InstallRequiredSystemLibraries.cmake). Unfortunately, it provides no opportunity to specify an install COMPONENT to be included in that, so when you use a component-based installer, the system runtime libraries cannot be pulled in. It is probably relatively simple to provide an additional CMake variable to optionally specify an install component and if that variable is non-empty, use that as the component name in the install() command. I'd propose something like CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSTEM_RUNTIME_COMPONENT as the variable name, but anything that is sane (and documented!) should be fine.
Steps To ReproduceInclude the InstallRequiredSystemLibraries module on a platform where it makes a difference (currently only Windows with Visual Studio compilers I think). Make sure the project builds a binary linked to a runtime (eg MSVC runtime) and install that target using a COMPONENT. Then invoke the packaging as a component-based installer.

It does work with component based installers if you set CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSTEM_RUNTIME_LIBS_SKIP, and make your own install() call using CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSTEM_RUNTIME_LIBS.

Yes and this was my workaround, but I had to go through the .cmake source file to work that out. At the very least, a comment in the documentation noting this would be useful.
