Well, I just followed the steps you've detailed in this thread; I
added your patch to nsisinst.nsi, built with COMPILE_INITS=0 and then
built the installer. Then I installed it in c:\usr\gs\gs9.28. I double
checked that the revised GS_LIB value was written to the registry.

Running the exe, I still get:
"GPL Ghostscript RELEASE CANDIDATE 1 9.28: Can't find initialization
file gs_init.ps."

So, I'm still not clear how you are getting this to work at all (note
that SAFER is activated in gs_init.ps, so if we can't find gs_init.ps,
it *cannot* be SAFER causing the problem).
