Bug report!

Hi!

I had some of the parameters to the CopyFiles using \\ instead of \ in the path specifications. The single \ works on XP for both CopyFiles and Delete, but on Vista it works only for Delete. The \\ is not accepted by CopyFiles on Vista.

It seems silly, but it was enough to brake the installer.

Thanks!

Such undocumented behavior like accepting \\ instead of \ can indeed depend on the Windows version. NSIS just sends the path to Windows.
