I've uploaded release 0.9 of my patch for Vim NSIS installer to
github:
https://github.com/gpwen/vim-installer-mui2/wiki
The following new features have been added since v0.8:
- New language support
Dutch language support by Peter Odding
Italian language support by Antonio Colombo
- Accurate uninstall
Now the uninstaller will remove only those files installed by the
installer, nothing more, nothing less. That means if you added
some files in the Vim directory yourself, such as user manuals for
other languages, they will be kept intact.
As comparison, the official uninstaller will remove files using
wildcards, even remove directories recursively, which result in
bogus removal if extra files have been installed.
This is achieved by generating NSIS install/uninstall commands
dynamically from the same template with a Vim script. Here's
technical detail if you're interested (section III):
https://github.com/gpwen/vim-installer-mui2/raw/master/nsis/README.txt
- Merged changes from official release and bug fixes.
A full feature list is available at:
https://github.com/gpwen/vim-installer-mui2/wiki/feature
I've repacked vim 7.3 patch 46 (the current official 7.3 release)
using the new script, it can be downloaded from here:
https://github.com/gpwen/vim-installer-mui2/downloads
You can find two different flavors there:
- gvim73_46-en-v#.#.exe
This is English only version. It's a strict repacking of the
official installer, no file changed.
- gvim73_46-int-v#.#.exe
International version. Same as above except multiple language
support has been enabled.
Please have a try if you're interested. If you build your own
Windows installer, you may try to patch the source code and build
the new installer yourself. The instruction can be found here:
https://github.com/gpwen/vim-installer-mui2/wiki/build
Let me know if you find any problem.
The new installer also intended to add multiple language support to
the Vim Windows installer, you can help to translate messages to
your own language:

Your help is highly appreciated!
Regards!
