Maximum length of a registry value
I seem to have hit a limit using WriteRegStr to write a registry value. The value is truncated at 1024 characters.

I don't believe this is a Windows registry issue (per Microsoft docs).
Is this the WriteRegStr truncating this, or is this a limit of nsis variables? What is the workaround?

Thanks,
John

You've reached the limit of max length string for common NSIS release.

See here for other options,

Thanks, I'll try that. Should I be concerned about injecting other bugs with this new release, or is it just a compile option that uses the same release/code?

It's just another automatic build with different configuration of the same code.
