'makensis.exe' is not recognized, building on Windows

[justingeeslin]

Building on Windows returns the following message. What is NSIS? Why is it needed to build for Windows and not for Mac?

package-windows:
 [launch4j] Compiling resources
 [launch4j] Linking
 [launch4j] Wrapping
 [launch4j] Successfully created Y:\CogTool-Modern\res\..\dist\CogTool.exe
     [exec] 'makensis.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
     [exec] operable program or batch file.
     [exec] Result: 1

Update: NSIS is the nullsoft Scriptable Install System, and this exe runs on windows and builds windows installers. The build.xml in its current form seems to expect the makensis.exe to be in the project directory, but it not a part of this repo.

Made some progress on this. Will updated Build.xml to point to the NSIS.exe in the Program Files directory. Coming soon to develop.

This is now fixed.

In order to build on Windows, you must have NSIS installed. We assume that the NSIS exe will be found in Program Files.
