Nice work! I got you covered. I will build your bugs/windowsupdate branch and put up a link for everyone to test tonight.

It checks to see if a specific registry key (HKCU SOFTWARE\brewtarget\OrganzationDefaults\user_data_dir) exists. If it does, it simply says "You've upgraded, and your database will be upgraded when you next start brewtarget".

A dialog is popped, asking the user to either SKIP for a new install or select their old data directory. The user has to choose one of the two options. Once the user chooses, we check that directory for the existence of a database.sqlite. If it exists, we copy it and options.xml to APPDATA\brewtarget. If it doesn't exist, we assume we are upgrading from the old XML files and copy those into place. Both paths set a hadOldConfig flag in the registry.

It's a long story, and there is no way I am wasting another day of my life building Qt for Windows. According to the CPACK documentation, I just need to put my NSIS.install.in <http://NSIS.install.in> file in the way, and it will be used. I've done that. So it should now be a matter of doing a make release on windows and seeing what happens.

The scripting language is a little odd -- so much popping of stacks -- but I have a few examples for what I'm trying to do. It is just a matter of getting myself into one place long enough to do it.
