[CMake] SET (CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_REGISTRY_KEY)

[Nicky Perian]

What do you hope to achieve by setting this value?

Trying to have Cpack see the currently installed NSIS program.
Stopped setting CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_REGISTRY_KEY and still have the same 
error.  Cpack cannot find the installed and in path Unicode\makensis.exe

Why are you trying to set "CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_REGISTRY_KEY "?

What do you hope to achieve by setting this value?

My suggestion is NOT to set it.
Or to set it to something like "My Software Package Name".

There is no reason you should be trying to set it to 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/NSIS/Unicode -- that will not do anything useful for 
you.

Per suggestions; changed SET to below. Cpack still cannot find the registry key.
