openstudiolib.dll not found without C++ API installation

[MatthewSteen]

Issue overview

The openstudiolib.dll isn't installed if the C++ API is unchecked during installation of 3.6.0 and 3.6.1, which means the CLI can't be used. Not sure if this is the intended behavior now but it's different than previous versions.

Current Behavior

See below.

Expected Behavior

Users should be able to use the CLI without installing the C++ API as in previous versions (e.g. 3.4.0) or be told that it's now required.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install 3.6.0 or 3.6.1 with the following options.

   

2. Add C:\openstudio-3.6.0\bin to PATH

3. openstudio --version

   

Possible Solution

Fix or provide information during installation that the C++ API is now required for the CLI to work.

@MatthewSteen thanks for the report. The CLI used to be self-contained (statically linked) and now isn't since the labs subcommand was added, so we need to update the install rules.
