Change the install folder specified in CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to a
location you have permissions to install or do not use the INSTALL
target. I highly recommend the latter if you enabled shared libraries.
The reason is you can not mix release and debug builds so you can not
INSTALL the release version of itk or any other dlls then try to later
run the debug version of your program.
