Thanks for the feedback.
 
The original question is derived from a requirement that we need to install some files (a component) using CMake and WIX to the user's home directory.
 
Our understanding is that this is not possible with the current version of CMake.
 
What would be a good design for including such a feature into a future version of CMake?
