Summary0009629: NSIS Unicode is not detected
DescriptionCpack does fail to detect NSIS Unicode installation. NSIS Unicode is currently available at http://www.scratchpaper.com/. [^]

Remark: NSIS Unicode is compatible with NSIS.

The cause is because NSIS Unicode installation set another registry key. Here is the key location:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\NSIS\Unicode] (on x64)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NSIS\Unicode] (on x86)

It would be better for cmake to detect NSIS Unicode first and fallback to classic NSIS if the key is not found.

With the fix for issue 0008210 this issue may now be less important. CPack will search the PATH for makensis in addition to looking in the registry key install location.

Is that a sufficient way to get CPack to use the Unicode NSIS, or is more work necessary?

Thanks,
David

I'm also affected by this and I believe it should work without any PATH manipulation from the user's side.
Thanks

Fix pushed to 'next':

  http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=668dda034f9dac763e3af745f5ca810d17d4a9a3 [^]

Not sure yet which official release of CMake this will first appear in. I will update the 'target version' field when I know when it's going to happen...
