Apparently an appropriate plugin was not deployed.

FYI: How it was manually resolved as a temporary remedy:

1. Extract ./plugin/AccessControl.zip
2. Move to ./plugin
3. Deploy one of the extracted .dll by executing sudo mv ./AccessControl/Plugins/i386-unicode/AccessControl.dll /usr/share/nsis/Plugins/x86-unicode/
