The compile commands use (getenv "ProgramFiles") to find the NSIS executables. This doesn't work on a 64 bit machine with 64 bit emacs because NSIS is currently 32 bit. It can be fixed as a kludge by substituting (getenv "ProgramFiles(x86)"), but that might not work on a 32 bit machine. I don't know enough about emacs Lisp to come up with a generic solution.

Worked fine when I installed it from elpa. However, if I shut down Emacs and, later, restart it, going to a .nsi file gets me an error:
File mode specification error: (void-variable nsis-start-keywords) defvar: Symbol’s value as variable is void: nsis-start-keywords File mode specification error: (void-variable nsis-start-keywords) [2 times]
Only way I can recover from this that I've found so far is by re-installing nsis mode from elpa.
This is using Emacs 29.1 on Windows 11.

Hello,

Whenever we use "name" or "caption" in a define it gets wrongly highlighted:

Basically all the words in https://github.com/mattfidler/nsis-mode/blob/master/nsis-mode.el#L128 are highlighted too greedy not matter what.

nsis-mode.el:949:5: Error: Symbol’s value as variable is void: nsis-syntax-variable

this error happens in batch mode emacs -Q --batch --eval '(byte-compile-file "nsis-mode.el")' and interactively via menu with Emacs

Emacs hangs, if a continuation line starts with an equal sign.
How to reproduce:

load a file with nsis-mode
;====== snippet begin ====
MessageBox MB_OK "Installation failed!$\r$\n
#= abort installation"

MessageBox MB_OK "Installation failed!$\r$\n
= abort installation"
;====== snippet end ====

delete the hash => emacs hangs immediately and needs to be killed
