metainfo wrong target dir?

Hi,
I get this error on the current master when building the INSTALL
CMakeTarget.

29>CMake Error at cmake_install.cmake:3953 (file):
29>  file cannot create directory: C:/Program Files (x86)/LyX/metainfo.

Code in cmake_install.cmake:

if(CMAKE_INSTALL_COMPONENT STREQUAL "Unspecified" OR NOT
CMAKE_INSTALL_COMPONENT)
  list(APPEND CMAKE_ABSOLUTE_DESTINATION_FILES
   "C:/Program Files (x86)/LyX/metainfo/org.lyx.LyX.metainfo.xml")
  if(CMAKE_WARN_ON_ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_DESTINATION)
    message(WARNING "ABSOLUTE path INSTALL DESTINATION :
${CMAKE_ABSOLUTE_DESTINATION_FILES}")
  endif()
  if(CMAKE_ERROR_ON_ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_DESTINATION)
    message(FATAL_ERROR "ABSOLUTE path INSTALL DESTINATION forbidden (by
caller): ${CMAKE_ABSOLUTE_DESTINATION_FILES}")
  endif()
  file(INSTALL DESTINATION "C:/Program Files (x86)/LyX/metainfo" TYPE FILE
FILES "C:/lyx/master/lib/org.lyx.LyX.metainfo.xml")
endif()

Why does it try to install that file into my Program Files dir and not into
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX?
