Thanks Clinton and David for replying.  I tried what David suggested,
after switching to CMake 2.8.4-rc2, and it worked like charm.  Let me
just mention that you need to cite only the name of the executable in
CPACK_NSIS_MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN: I have it installed in "bin"
subdirectory of the install directory, but in that case you should not
mention "bin" here, or otherwise the executable won't be run (it helps
to examine generated NSIS script for debugging here).

Regards.
