Hi Rainer, version dependent for the Windows build description means dependent on the _QMapShack_ release. E.g. for QMapShack 1.6 a different version of some package might be required than for QMapShack 1.4. Assuming that somebody might be interested in older versions he can get a corresponding build description together with the code. This is not the case for the wiki as there you see always the latest version. Nevertheless - as probably nobody would build an old version - I think about moving it to the Wiki.
If you still have nsi/HOWTO-BUILD.txt somewhere then you are mixing up different hg versions: nsi/HOWTO-BUILD.txt has been replaced by nsi/HOWTO-BUILD.md as you can see from the hg history (https://bitbucket.org/maproom/qmapshack/commits/8a6a4178fd7a9b0407b16b2cce559c3227e93795). The file nsi/3rdparty.txt belongs to the deployment package and thus has to stay in the repository. Probably the content needs a bit polishing.
