Issue
When the code executes the CopyFiles instruction, the installer may crash.
Cause
This happens after makensis has been recompiled with an old Microsoft library file.
Solution
If you are using the Visual C++ 6, install the latest Platform SDK. Using Visual C++ .NET (VC 7.x) will also solve the problem.
