Hello, Currently, I'm exploring the facilities of CPack and NSIS on Windows. Thereby I ran into some small troubles.
First, the executables are installed in the "/bin" subdirectory of the CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY. When the variable CPACK_NSIS_MODIFY_PATH is set to ON, it will add CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY to the Windows PATH environment. While the executables are located in the subdirectory, they cannot be found when they are executed on the command line (without omiting the path to the executable). Therefore I have the following question: Is there a way to add a subdirectory to the PATH environment variable, instead of the CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY? Second, the message to add CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY to the system path is shown, prior to selecting the path where the CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME is installed. This might be confusing for people that need to install the tool. Therefore, I suggest to 1) either display CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY after selecting a path for CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME or 2) display CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME instead of CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY. (Can be found at L6 of NSIS.InstallOptions.ini.in).
