      !include "FileFunc.nsh"
      !include WinMessages.nsh
      !include "nsProcess.nsh"
      ;!include "FindProcess.nsh"

This is most likely a ANSI vs Unicode compiler/plug-in mismatch.

If you are using NSIS v2 then you need to extract the correct plug-in version from the .zip (ANSI unless you are using a 3rd-party NSIS fork) into the plugin folder. If you are using NSIS v3 then there is a plug-in subfolder for each type, make sure you put the correct plug-in in each subfolder. The Unicode plug-in .dll is often in a Unicode subfolder or has a 'W' suffix in the filename in the .zip archive.
