Summary:                    NSIS installer uninstalls from incorrect directory
Description: 
When CPACK_NSIS_ENABLE_UNINSTALL_BEFORE_INSTALL is set, the installer tries to
uninstall the old version from the default installation path for the new
version, rather than using the path from the registry where the old version is
installed.  Therefore, if it is installed to a different directory, it won't get
properly uninstalled.  I'm submitted a patch to fix this issue.
