Description

Using the absolute path "${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}" here breaks CPack:
https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/Streamline/blob/fbe73ba0dc817da8db877c62038d415816209139/CMakeLists.txt#L31

Using "." instead should be functionally identical.

Research direction

Open CMakeLists.txt at the referenced line and inspect how the install path is used by CPack. Verify the install-path change with the project’s CPack packaging workflow; done means the generated package no longer breaks because the path is absolute.
