Odd problem trying to make DLL registering script

I've got some class libraries that I've made using Visual Studio 2003. There is an installer included with VS 2003, but it makes 3 files - an MSI, an EXE and an INI. The first one is all you need for XP, but Vista needs all 3 so I've been asked to make a single file installer.

I've written this script and am trying to run it from the directory containing the DLL and TLB files that VS 2003 creates:

!include Library.nsh
!insertmacro InstallLib REGDLL NOTSHARED NOREBOOT_PROTECTED FrogTechUtilities.dll $PROGRAMFILES\Frogtech\FrogTechUtilities.dll $TEMP
!insertmacro InstallLib TLB NOTSHARED NOREBOOT_PROTECTED FrogTechUtilities.tlb $PROGRAMFILES\Frogtech\FrogTechUtilities.tlb $TEMP

But when I run it I get this error at the end of the output:

Processing script file: "C:\Frogtech Projects\FTU\FrogTechUtilitiess\bin\ftu.nsi"
!include: "C:\Program Files\NSIS\Include\Library.nsh"
!include: closed: "C:\Program Files\NSIS\Include\Library.nsh"
!insertmacro: InstallLib
Error: command Push not valid outside Section or Function
Error in macro InstallLib on macroline 5
Error in script "C:\Frogtech Projects\FTU\FrogTechUtilitiess\bin\ftu.nsi" on line 2 -- aborting creation process


From what I can see it's indicating a bug in the included macro which I can't imagine is correct. Any idea? Also, am I using directories correctly? I gather NSIS uses \ to indicate new line so is it ok to use them in paths? I notice if I use an absolute path like c:\temp it complains about there being too many parameters for the macro.
