NSIS 3.0rc1 in addition to 2.51?

[NaterGator]

Any chance we can get the NSIS 3.0rc1 packaged deployed as part of the base image? Sourceforge is unreliable for installing via Chocolatey and the RC version includes some features for Windows 8+ installs that we depend on.

Is it a public project? Can you drop its URL please?

[NaterGator]

Yes, it is a public project. The landing page is here and the setup file is here.

I meant AppVeyor project. Is it the one: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/mavlink/qgroundcontrol/history?

[NaterGator]

Yes that's the one

I've put 3.0rc1 here, closer to build machines:

https://storage.googleapis.com/appveyor-download-cache/nsis/nsis-3.0rc1-setup.exe

You can use the following script to install it without Chocolatey:

Write-Host "Installing NSIS..." -ForegroundColor Cyan
$exePath = "$($env:USERPROFILE)\nsis-3.0rc1-setup.exe"

Write-Host "Downloading..."
(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('https://storage.googleapis.com/appveyor-download-cache/nsis/nsis-3.0rc1-setup.exe', $exePath)

Write-Host "Installing..."
cmd /c start /wait $exePath /S

Write-Host "Installed" -ForegroundColor Green

Tremendous, thanks Feodor!
