NSIS update validation and official source note
For managed NSIS updates, close NSIS tools such as the compiler GUI before rerunning the installer. A stale running copy can leave the installed binaries unchanged even when the installer process exits successfully, so validate the post-update file version or run makensis /VERSION after deployment instead of relying only on the process return code.
Keep package sourcing tied to the official NSIS project download page and record the exact installer version/date used. NSIS is also an installer-authoring tool, so do not confuse silent switches used by installers built with NSIS with the operational validation needed for updating the NSIS authoring application itself.
