How do I add the RequestExecutionLevel option of NSIS to a CMakeLists.txt

Question

I am trying to get an installer compiled with NSIS on Windows 7 to work without administrator privileges. The project is set up with CMake and compiled with VC2010. I have figured out that I have to use the

RequestExecutionLevel user

option. My question is: What do I have to put into my CMakeLists.txt to pass this option to NSIS? I found

set(CPACK_NSIS_EXTRA_INSTALL_COMMANDS "RequestExecutionLevel user")

somewhere on google, but that gives an error, saying that this option cannot be set in this section.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Answer 1

The version of CMake that I have has @CPACK_NSIS_DEFINES@ in NSIS template, so adding set(CPACK_NSIS_DEFINES "RequestExecutionLevel user") to CMakeLists.txt does the job as well.

Although it may require extra work for component based install.
