You can recompile NSIS with a custom configuration file (exehead\config.h) to remove features you are not using (to decrease the overhead size), to enable features that are not enabled by default (like advanced logging) or to change advanced settings of compression methods and variables.
For the users without a compiler, some special builds of makensis.exe are provided here. These builds are only compatible with NSIS 3.10 (older versions).
No solid compression for BZIP2 and LZMA
This special build is no longer provided. You can now simply not use the /SOLID switch for the SetCompressor command.
Advanced logging
This build includes advanced logging features that allow you create an exact log of all installer actions (see the users manual for details). You can use it if you want testers or users to send installation reports.
Large strings
If you are working with large strings use this build which has a maximum string length of 8192 bytes instead of the default of 1024 bytes.
