It's likely that your virus checker or something of that nature is getting in the way. A google search results in a number of reports of people experiencing similar issues with NSIS based installers caused by their virus checker. The NSIS website appears to be having issues, but I pulled this snippet from a cached version of their FAQ: NSIS Installer/Uninstaller will raise this error whenever you will launch the installer/uninstaller from an forbidden location (such as C:\, C:\Windows, C:\Program Files, etc). This is an constraint set on initialization phase of installer/uninstaller and it will always check for this rule. It make sense while you might have a RMDir/Delete instruction in your install/uninstall sections that will harm your system irreversibly. Just make sure you run this software from a valid location and the installer/uninstaller will load into memory -D > > Derrick E.
