How about letting one login with one’s email address rather than username. If the username is not found match it against the email. If there are two users with the same email that would be an login error. “stupid content tracking system” is the sub-title from git’s man page.

Build ShellExecAsUser::ShellExecAsUser() into NSIS, running program as administrator is wrong.

Can I second that, I'm doing the installer for another product and would love to make my uninstallation look professional without jumping through the hoops of the work-around https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Signing_an_Uninstaller . Surely any serious Nꜱɪꜱ user needs to sign their uninstaller.

If not could someone tell me how to build the branch with the patch or how to apply the patch. I assume you are all using Visual Studio with C++? Yours Gratefully, Gene Thomas.
