    If you would like to build the Pidgin installer, you'll need to setup
    [NSIS](https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Download). Once you have installed
    NSIS, please make sure that it is in your shell's `PATH`. Note if you're
    -building with msys2 you can just run `pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-nsis` to
    -install it.
    +building with msys2 do not use the version available in pacman. There are
    +multiple issues with it including that executables produced by it will not be
    +able to run if Mandatory ASLR is enabled.
    -Next you'll need to download the
    -[nsis inetc plugin](https://github.com/DigitalMediaServer/NSIS-INetC-plugin)
    -and extract `x86-unicode/INetC.dll` to the `Plugins/unicode` directory of your
    -NSIS installation.
    +Next you'll need to download a few plugins and put them into the
    +`Plugins/x86-unicode` folder of your NSIS install.
    +
    + * [nsis unzip plugin](https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Nsisunz_plug-in)
    + * [nsis inetc plugin](https://github.com/DigitalMediaServer/NSIS-INetC-plugin)
    + * [nsis crypto plugin](https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Crypto_plug-in)
    Finally, you'll need to decide if you would like to sign the executables though
    this is not necessary for personal use.
