Hi, I'm a user of the NSIS generator of CPack to generate nice windows installers. Often lately I have embedded external installers with my installer and then run them as part of my installer. This is working really nice except for one thing; if you need to install drivers or services the entire installer will require admin or power user privileges. Thus I need to stop both the installer and the uninstaller from running early if the user running it doesn't have proper privileges. Until now I have manually post edited the generated project.nsi file to add this functionlity and regenerated the installer. Now I hope that someone else is embedding external installers with their installers and propose a new feature. It optionally adds an abort message and installer abort if one sets CPACK_NSIS_REQUIRE_POWERUSER prior to include(CPack). Attached patch is against cmake master. In CPack.cmake it sets CPACK_NSIS_REQUIRE_POWERUSER to "ON" if a user have defined or set CPACK_NSIS_REQUIRE_POWERUSER to anything. This is because the NSIS scripting language is assembler-like and I string compare (StrCmp) the value of said variable to "ON" to perform a relative jump. Not setting CPACK_NSIS_REQUIRE_POWERUSER will generate the same installer as NSIS.template.in has generated since cmake 2.6. Feedback welcome.
