[CMake] NSIS no fix install path -> automatic searching for already installed programs (e.g. Matlab, Qt, ...)

[Stefan]

Okay I saw your answer, but I did not associate it with my problem. Because it is only a workaround not a good and safe solution in general.

If I overwrite the CMAKE_MODULE_PATH, does cmake find the other standard Modules if I need them?
The other problem is, that I have to choose the same filenames for the templates.

But it's nice to know a workaround to use it now. :-)

In general, perhaps a solution like this would be possible:
A variable like CPACK_NSIS_TEMPLATE could be set or not (default are the current template files).
It’s the same concept like CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_LICENCE or CPACK_PACKAGE_ICON and so on.

Isn't this is better like overwrite the CMAKE_MODULE_PATH were other parts in the project could be depend on?

As already answered recently 
http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2008-April/021013.html

you should be able to use your 
own template If you add your template in your custom module Path
SET(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/cmake)
