personally I'd say the ..\..\..\ is bad practice, I'd use a dir to reference from, I use ".\setup_files"

that wont cause the error though, you know you can use wildcards with 'file' and 'delete' ( I believe ), right?

Also, you must have moved the .nsi after you saved it, which is why you got the error. Where possible, I use absolute paths, or use the current directory where the .nsi resides.
