Installer crashes when ASLR is enabled (Windows 8)

If I enable ASLR system wide on Windows 8, this is what happens with the installer:

System wide ASLR is enabled through a registry setting or EMET:

Based on prior testing, this only fails on Windows 8. Windows 7 with ASLR set to Always On works fine. Must be all the extra entropy they put in Windows 8 that causes it to fail or something.

Sounds like a bug to report to NSIS or NSIS Unicode.

So much for useless "security" features.
