Sounds like a PATH issue. Try getting dumpbin to work from the
command line that you are using.
GetPrerequisites.cmake doesn't expect dumpbin on the PATH, it uses
find_binary with some hard codes paths to find it and runs it with a
full absolute path.
It does try to inject the path of the found dumpbin +
'..\..\Common7\IDE' into PATH before using it. This extra PATH element
is where the DLLs that dumbin uses are located. This is where the
problem lies.
For some reason the set(ENV{PATH} ...) command is working in the cmake
install target driven BundleUtilities::fixup_bundle call to
GetPrerequisites::get_prerequisites. But when the package target is
built the same code fails to update the PATH.
Clearly CPack is doing something different (and deficient) when it
processes the install () commands from CMakeLists.txt :(
Can anyone help with how I can get CPack to behave the same a CMake for
the same CMakeLists.txt?
I would revert to my fix to force GetPrerequisites to use objdump but
not only is it slow but also it doesn't copy the prerequisites into the
package unless the package target is run twice.

I suspect a PATH problem but have no idea how to debug this further. OK, so I have progressed a bit. This is something to do with the MS tool dumpbin which is used to analyse binaries for prerequisites as part of BundleUtilities::fixup_bundle. It looks for a suitable tool and on Windows prefers dumpbin over MinGW objdump. In my case even though I am using MinGW for builds, I have MSVC installed too. So for the install target dumpbin seems to work ok to analyse the binaries. I still don't understand why the package target goes wrong as described in the OP. Looking at the GetPrerequisites.cmake module I see that I can force the choice of binary analysis tool by defining the variable gp_tool. So I define it to "objdump" before executing fixup_bundle and it seems to work. the only problem is that it takes about 15 minutes (on i7 processor!) to complete a package generation that takes less than a minute when dumpbin is used :( I would really like to know why it is going wrong with dumpbin in package generation because using objtool is too slow!
