This is an external CMakeLists.txt that fails.

Switch: install
-----------
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(b PROPERTIES FOLDER "Install" ) # capitalize I
bypasses the issue
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(b PROPERTIES FOLDER "Install and Deploy" ) # make
it really log also bypasses the issue...
otherwise capitalizing --target INSTALL in the ExternalProject.cmake, for
visual studio, also fixed the problem, since the real target is 'INSTALL'
and not 'install'
