So apparently that's a "no" then.

Ah yes, wonderful documentation. Currently I'm trying to figure out how
to make NSIS actually *react* to errors, rather than blindly ignore
them. You would think that a product designed specifically for the
purpose of making complex installers would support you by making this
kind of thing drop-dead easy... but no. Apparently you have to script it
like you're writing psuedo-assumbly language. Yuck!!

Well, I have at least got to the point where the installer works when
everything goes according to plan. Trouble is, if there's a problem, the
installer merrily continues as if nothing's wrong. Not very graceful!
