[Spice-devel] [NSIS 3/7] packaging: Re-enable NSIS branding

[Lev Veyde]

Hi,

Almost all installers provide this kind of info, and the idea is to show it so everyone, including ones who don't really know how and where to search will get a pointer.
So I think it's a good idea to tell everyone who runs the installer "it's produced with NSIS", so that anyone who may need to build an installer of it's own could search for it.

Thanks in advance,
Lev Veyde.

Imo this advertising is quite intrusive and ugly, and not really useful,
that's why I just disabled it. It's not very hard to figure out that
nsis is being used for people who really want to know.
