Summary: uninst.exe "Not a valid Win32 application"

Initial Comment:
NSIS version: 2.40

To replicate the problem:
1. Create a regular (MUI) NSIS script (I used NIS Edit Wizard with just one .exe \
file) 2. Add "CRCCheck off" and compile it; say the output file is "Setup.exe"
3. Add a message table (attached) using Resource Hacker: "ResHacker.exe" -add \
"Setup.exe", "Setup.exe", "Message_Table.res" , MESSAGETABLE,, 4. Setup.exe now \
should have a new resource when view using Resource Hacker (string "{000-000-000}") \
5. Run Setup.exe to install the application 6. The uninstall program (Program \
Files\My application\uninst.exe) is now corrupted. The icon is not visible anymore. \
If you open it with Resource Hacker you will find a Message Table was added. Some \
resources can be viewed, some not (Resource Hacker states: "This file has \
non-standard resource layout... it has probably been compressed with an EXE \
compressor"). The uninstaller runs and does its job on Windows XP, but in Vista you \
get the "Not a valid Win32 application" error and the program halts.

Thank you,
Gelu Kelu

!packhdr works fine for me:

!define reshacker "$%ProgramFiles%\Tools\Resource Hacker\ResHacker.exe"
!packhdr "exehead.tmp" '"${reshacker}" -add "exehead.tmp", "exehead.tmp",
"$%temp%\Message_Table.res" , MESSAGETABLE,,'

Message:
I wasn't able to call !packhdr at all. Not even with an "echo OK" bat file
that doesn't alter the .exe header; makensis.exe just crashes on the next
statement after !packhdr.
