Hi!
The latest NSIS installer (2.07) changed the syntax of the SetCompression setting, making the solid setting no longer default :-(
Without using the /SOLID parameter, current NSIS will now build the Ethereal installer about 1MB larger than before.
Unfortunately, using the /SOLID parameter with "old" NSIS version will result in the reported error message. 

We could:
- force our users (including the buildbot) to upgrade to NSIS 2.07 (my favourite) - find a way to circumvent this (but that makes the script even more complicated than it currently is), by adding a setting to config.nmake
I think simply increasing installer size of more than 1MB isn't a real option ...
