How to debug & log NSIS?

[gajop]

Followup on #4711 that I think deserves its own issue.

Is there any way to figure out what went wrong with NSIS installs, updates, uninstalls? Having no ability to log or get any error messages makes it difficult to rely on it in production - getting user log info is hard as it is. Am I missing something or is there just no way to detect errors with it?

I'm using the following setup although I don't think it's relevant to any particular version:

package.json versions:

"electron": "^8.0.0",
"electron-builder": "^22.3.2"
"electron-updater": "^4.2.0"

NSIS build seutp:

"nsis": {
"oneClick": false,
"allowToChangeInstallationDirectory": true,
"perMachine": false
}

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?
