I've been building Wireshark for years and I have always tried to keep up with the stable release. I've tried updating from 3.6.8 to 4.0.0 - 4.0.2 but have trouble. My 64 bit Windows build runs fine but I cannot make the installer. I did the obvious stuff like switching from nsis_package_prep.vcxproj and nsis_package.vcxproj to wireshark_nsis_prep.vcxproj and wireshark_nsis.vcxproj.
While wireshark_nsis_prep.vcxproj passes when I try wireshark_nsis.vcxproj I get an error about having no uninstall-wireshark.exe. Is there some obscure thing that I should change to get the uninstall-wireshark.exe to build? So far I have tried moving from NSIS 3.06.1 to 3.08 and I'm still on VS 2019. I do not sign my executables so I have no weird scripts messing with the NSIS stuff.
The ERROR:
