AW: [CMake] [CPack] Changing the appearance of the NSIS installer

[wedekind]

Hi David,

thanks for reply, even it's 2 months later it was still helpful for me. I've
followed your steps and it works for me! Unfortunately I cannot reproduce
what I have done wrong 2 months ago, but I guess the main difference to your
approach is that I have tried to use my own NSIS.template.in in a more
complex project rather than trying it out with a simple example.

Maybe there is an error in my project or the NSIS template I've adapted is
corrupt. But it's good to know that it works in principle. I will have to
invest a little more time to make it work for my project...

Ok, if I come across more problems really related to Cmake/Cpack I'll let
you know.
