 > Maybe it needs a different NSIS. THe version installed inside the build
 VM is 2.46-7, which is current according to
 http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page. That page also links to something
 called [http://www.scratchpaper.com/ Unicode NSIS].

 It looks like it requires a newer NSIS than is packaged with Ubuntu.
   [http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Docs/Chapter1.html#intro-unicode 1.4
 Unicode installers]
   Starting with MakeNSIS v3.0 you can choose to create Unicode installers
 by setting the
 [http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Docs/Chapter4.html#aunicodetarget Unicode]
 attribute.
 http://sourceforge.net/projects/nsis/files/NSIS%203%20Pre-release/ has
 files, including version 3.0b1 released 2014-10-07. However only version
 2.46 (released 2010-04-18) appears to be
 [http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=nsis&searchon=names&exact=1&suite=all&section=all
 available in Ubuntu].
