I've been a professional software engineer since 1991 and writing code
since 1980. :-)

There's clearly makefiles & scripts files in the repo you cloned on
github that mentions nsis.
The file makensis expects a tarball with perl etc in it but I don't
know the exact contents.
It might just be a tarball distro of Strawberry perl.

Any clues on this would be great.

JOOI Who built the current Windows installer?
Are they on this list?

TIA
