Restoring NSIS script from a compiled installer?

Hi everybody,
surely this question was asked several times but I wasn't able to find a proper solution in the forums search.

To prove my astonishing intelligence I deleted accidentally an NSIS script which had some important and tricky parts in it which are difficult to restore.
Now I'm hoping that there is a concrete way to reveal the original script from the compiled installer which still exists but has to be modified further. So - if anybody should know if there is a way to rescue the script - please tell me.

It's almost impossible to decompile an NSIS script, there are also no decompilers available.

So I'm afraid you'll have to write it again.

Nope. It's about 3-4 months and no less Windows installations ago...
