Error installing: There was a CMake error

[wessltov]

I followed all the instructions to the letter, but no luck.

CMake version installed: 3.10.0-rc2 OS: Windows 7 Python version: 3.6.3

Was this from the latest pull? May I ask how I can reproduce this issue?

Edit: I think this is related to #36

[wessltov]

I attempted installation right after downloading the then latest release. The steps to reproducing the issue are the exact instructions listed in the official instructions: https://github.com/justinmeza/lci/blob/master/README.md

1. Installed MinGW and CMake.
2. Changed environment variable "PATH" from "C:\Users\MyUsername\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\Scripts\;C:\Users\MyUsername\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\" to "C:\Users\MyUsername\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\Scripts\;C:\Users\MyUsername\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\;C:\MinGW\bin;C:\Python32".
3. Opened an elevated command-prompt, navigated to the right folder, and ran command: install.py --prefix="C:\Users\MyUsername\Documents\lc".
