When the version number is contained in the screenshot, it may be worth while updating the screenshot.

  • The Registry plug-in has been updated to v4.1 and it doesn't seems to be updated in the package. Having said that, I think we should take a look at this and this before updating it.
  • There's a App\NSIS\nsis-uninst.exe file leftover.

The registry plugin wasn't updated specifically because of those 2 bugs reported within it in that forum. The uninstall file may be an issue of cleanliness, but ultimately doesn't matter.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
