Thanks. That’s probably due to me using the DATA file type. The install system on CMake is poorly documented for anything other than *nix, sadly. I may be able to force them into the same directory, will look into it. Eventually, we’ll want to clean up the directory structure some but that requires more work in the code to look for the required data files elsewhere. Windows is a bit restrictive on DLLs so we’re probably out of luck on that front.

Did some looking yesterday and it looks like I used the wrong commands for the Start Menu and Desktop shortcut options. WiX has its own options but you need to use properties instead of variables for it: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake-properties.7.html#properties-on-installed-files

Don’t know how to use them yet but I’ll see if I can figure it out. Hopefully those fix that issue. My guess is the poor documentation is a result of CPack just not being used a whole lot: most projects write their own installer scripts separate from CMake.
