Finding icons offsets for uninstaller... Done!

Source of the problem is --compress-icons=1. For quick reference, here's the line being used with UPX:

!packhdr tmp.dat "${HAVE_UPX}\upx -9 --compress-icons=1 tmp.dat"

If you compress the icons NSIS can't find them and can't generate offsets for their replacement. You should not compress the icons.

I'll add some checks that will give a nicer error.

Interesting since that is the line that NSIS uses to compile itself!

I can't find --compress-icons in any file in the NSIS directory. Where do you see that?

Sorry, it was in the old NSIS1.98 script.
