What gives? I had this working till yesterday and then it just stopped. Nothing new on my machine except for a windows automatic update. Restored system back to point of the update but still no go.

You didn't install the System plug-in or your anti-virus deleted it because it felt like being stupid for a change. Reinstall NSIS with it.

You're not alone:

Are you a developer who uses NSIS to distribute your application? Are you a Winamp plug-in developer who wants to use NSIS to distribute your plug-in? Have suggestions for other people like you? This is the place.


This should be reported to eTrust so they fix it as soon as possible.
