Installling NSIS 2.46

I'm busy setting up builds of DRC 3.0 on a new Windows 7 64bit workstation using VS2010 and NSIS 2.46

Always an intertesting adventure setting up a new Development workstation especially when you didn't take the time to document your setup.

Setting up NSIS 2.46 on Windows 7 64 bit

1.   Run nsis-2.46-setup.exe
2.  Run Venis setup VenisIX225.exe
1.  Run Venix, click register menu
2.  Add name and license.
3.   First time running Venix, Use file menu to open Nsi script directly.  After that, Windows will open Venix when double-clicking on script file.  (Not sure why this does work w/o first running Venix right after install.
3.   Add Plugins
1.        Registry
1.  Copy Include to NSIS\Include
2.  Copy Example to NSIS\Examples
3. Copy Plugin to NSIS\Plugins
