Issue ID: 127100
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: Make NSIS 3.* a build requirement for building Windows
installers
Product: Build Tools
Version: 4.2.0-dev
Hardware: PC
OS: Windows, all
Status: CONFIRMED
Severity: Normal
Priority: P5 (lowest)
Component: code
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Currently, the build system does some weird build-time NSIS version checking to
detect the version and the Unicode support, see
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/openoffice/trunk/main/solenv/bin/modules/installer/download.pm?view=markup#l897
We should make NSIS 3.* a build requirement at configure time when msi is among
the selected package formats. The advantage is that NSIS 3.0 comes with Unicode
support out of the box (there is no need to install the Unicode version of
NSIS), while it also fixes several issues, among them some security issues like
