Done! mingw-nsis updated to 3.01 release on Cauldron and also on mga6/Core/Updates_testing repo.

Please test it, thanks in advance.

Excelent. I will test this tomorrow morning. Thanks

Assigning to QA,


Advisory:
========================

Current NSIS Windows installer is 2.50 under Mageia6.

This Windows installer can be use with MinGW cross compiler to build Windows installer under Linux. for example digiKam is fully cross compiled under Linux with MXE and at end an installer is build with NSIS from the host system.  

The current NSIS version provided by Mageia is an older one (2.5.x) which crash violently Windows 10 when installer is executer on target computer. This do not happen with Windows 7 or 8.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=385368

Since NSIS 3.xx, Windows 10 is fully supported as explained in release notes :

I package digiKam windows installer with this NSIS version now 1.4M lines of code cross compiled for windows 32/64 bits with MXE. Installer work perfectly under Windows 7 and Windows 10.
