Very few people install PDBs to the bin directory, that is an
administrative nightmare (who is responsible for deleting them when you
install a Release build with no PDBs on top?).
Instead, I suggest installing into a separate directory which you either
place on the symbol path or import the PDBs from into a regular symbol
server.
This doesn't even need a change to the CMakeLists.txt, just pass
-DCMAKE_PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY:PATH=
with the desired output path.
