[CMake] target path, or post build event?

[Mark Wyszomierski]

It seems to work, though is moving the file I want to copy into an
unexpected location. Using the following:

INSTALL(FILES debug/cmaketest.exe DESTINATION copy_file_test)

I'm trying to move the file 'cmaketest.exe' located in a subdirectory
called 'debug' into another subdirectory called 'copy_file_test'.

The file actually gets copied to:

    C:\Program Files\CMAKETEST\copy_file_test

though. The name of my project is CMakeTest. Any idea?

Thanks,
Mark
