Issue with install after using `perl Configure` to set --prefix and --openssldir

[BENTLEY Thom]

Hi All,

I get an error running `perl Configure --openssldir "C:\OpenSSLInstallDir\CommonFiles\SSL" --prefix=C:\OpenSSLInstallDir VC-WIN64A`
target already defined - C:\OpenSSLInstallDir\Common Files\SSL (offending arg: VC-WIN64A)

If I remove --openssldir "C:\OpenSSLInstallDir\CommonFiles\SSL", the configure happens fine but the install fails.
Here are the steps after the reconfigure.
nmake clean
nmake
nmake test
nmake install.

The install shows this error:
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe" ".\util\mkdir-p.pl" "C:\Program Files\Common Files\SSL\certs"' : return code '0x2'
Stop.

What step did I miss or is this a bug?  I thought I could override the common files location with -openssldir but that doesn't seem to work.

Thanks.
