Summary0010728: Make NSIS uninstaller filename (Uninstall.exe) customizable.
DescriptionWe have to generate two different setup packages from the same project (a application package and a data one) but to install them into the same location on the target system.

The later installed package would overwrite the 'Uninstall.exe' of the first one, so the deinstallation would only remove the files of the second installed package.

A simple resolution to this problem would be to make the uninstaller name customizable.
Steps To Reproduce
Additional InformationSee attached patch.

Uninstaller name may be customized by entering e.g.
> set( CPACK_UNINSTALL_NAME "My Custom Uninstaller Name" )

before
> include( CPack )

This will set the name of the uninstaller application ('Uninstall.exe') as well as the name of the start menu link ('Uninstall.lnk')
If no custom uninstall name was specified, the old 'Uninstall' will be used as a default value.

It is a very useful patch and it can be applied without any conflicts on the current Git-version. Dear CMake developers, please, pay attention!
