CJKPython (http://cjkpython.i18n.org/#CJKPython) is based on NSIS.
And .nsi source is available at
http://cvs.berlios.de/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/cjkpython/CJKPython/cjkpython.nsi?rev=1.4&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

As you may find, lack of log-based uninstall feature makes .nsi
file too large.
