Solution 1

There are two ways to solve this problem according to the cause:

(1) Since CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is specified as the C drive directory in the CMake GUI, the install requires permission when compiling and generating. At this point, you need to run Vs as an administrator.

(2) The reason why the set build directory is incorrect during cmake. For example, a new build directory is created outside the main directory of the source code (the directory where CMakelist.txt is located). Instead of creating this build directory in the correct home directory.

 should not

 Solution 2

If solution 1 cannot solve your problem, you can consider setting the VS project to the Release model, and then run the install.

Practice has proved that to solution 2, it can basically solve all the situations I have encountered.
