I suspect this is because we've recently removed the
qemu-icon.bmp but didn't update the NSIS installer script,
which is now looking for a wildcard that doesn't match anything
(and isn't trying to install the new .png icon files).
If you try this on a commit before a8260d3876389eb52 does it
work?

qemu-icon.bmp seems also to still be listed in the LINKS
in configure which defines what we symlink from the source
tree to the build tree (and again, the png files are not).
