CMake cannot find OpenCVConfig.cmake in Windows

Hi,

I installed OpenCV following the installation instructions for Windows, using the pre-built libraries. I also set the environment variable OPENCV_DIR to C:\opencv\build\x64\vc14 (in my case). It is my understanding that there is nothing else to do to be able to create a project using CMake.

However, when I try running CMake, it complains that it cannot find OpenCVConfig.cmake. That is probably because the file is not in %OPENCV_DIR%: there is one in opencv\build\x64\vc14\lib and one in opencv\build. I have to manually set OpenCV_DIR in CMake for it to run.

How is it supposed to work with the environment variable as it is set based on the documentation?

Thanks!
