Summary0013357: CPACK macros in own copy of NSIS.template.in are still generated even though they are commented out
DescriptionThe parser of NSIS.template.in generates output for CPACK macros that are commented out (for example @CPACK_NSIS_CREATE_ICONS@). The parser only comments out the first row of the macro's output.

Here's an example:

CMakeLists.txt:
set(CPACK_COMPONENTS_ALL APP1 APP2)

NSIS.template.in (don't want it to install default icons because I need to use arguments in the shortcut collected during installation):
;@CPACK_NSIS_CREATE_ICONS@

This will generate the following output in project.nsi:
; CreateShortCut "$SMPROGRAMS\$STARTMENU_FOLDER\APP1.lnk" "$INSTDIR\bin\APP1.exe"
  CreateShortCut "$SMPROGRAMS\$STARTMENU_FOLDER\APP2.lnk" "$INSTDIR\bin\APP2.exe"

That's just the way it works...

When the file is "configured", the part of the file that says @CPACK_NSIS_CREATE_ICONS@ is replaced by whatever the value of CPACK_NSIS_CREATE_ICONS is at the time. If it contains newlines, then those are going to be in the result file.

If that's not what you want, then simply remove the @CPACK_NSIS_CREATE_ICONS@ from the .in file rather than commenting it out. Or, put a space in between the "@" and the CPACK_NSIS_CREATE_ICONS to prevent the CMake configuration step from replacing the value.

The NSIS comment has nothing to do with how the file gets configured.

Nothing to fix here. This behavior is as designed/expected.
