Summary0011268: nsis component issues
DescriptionNSIS installers with cpack have odd behaviors when components are enabled.

The installer script checks what components are installed, and skips installing the ones it thinks are already installed.

Because of how the script code is written, that prevents the following things:
- Repairing an installation (by simply re-installing)
- Multiple installations of the same version
- Multiple installations of a different version

Its an issue with different versions because the registry keys for storing what is installed doesn't account for versions. So when trying installing a newer version of software, it doesn't install at all.
This is pretty bad behavior... I guess I'll have to go back to non-component NSIS.

Another related problem is in add/remove programs, one only ever sees one entry for multiple installs (of non-component installers).
Again, the registry key for that is not version specific.
