Installer / MSVC build script

Don't really know why, as i "initially" really decided to pause from myScite Dev ...- but now we have an Installer for it.
Written in a way to be easily adapted for use with other progs, it does work really well and even for all the Win7 Folks out there.
Already "Userchosen" Ext-App mappings will be preserved. Its really small and execution time is just some seconds per run.
The installer is engineered to be Cooperative. So it scales to SciTEs flexibility of been just copied somwhere and just works like a charm.
Lets look at some specs:

1. It doesnt need Administrative privileges. Neither for install - or uninstalling Stuff.
2. The Script will happily preserve already decided App-Extension mappings and just writes [APP_NAME]  at the end of "recommended Apps" for the ext. (Seen when clicking "openWith") 
3. File Extensions that didnt exist before are properly inited and associated with [APP_NAME]
4. File Extensions that do exist, but dont have a default app during InstallTime are associated with  [APP_NAME]  as well.
5. A backupFile containing all FileExt Mappings made within HKCU\....\Explorer\FileExts will be created in an Restore .reg file.
6. The uninstaller and the Installer will only touch fileExts in scite_filetypes.txt, so any other stuff, which not "belongs" to it wont be touched.
7. Size: 35 kb 

... Woh. Fin...
Update: Done Version 1.0 with "Backup & logging Batteries" included. and does support readonly Pathes too. At least tested dozens of times on my local System here.

  • For the Dev side - MSVC Compatibility is back. Including a batchJob to preselect between multiple VS-Studio Installations.
  • apis - The props for MSofts "Language of Wonders" have been eupdated with more Verbs for highlighting.

enjoy the cheers, Tho (arjunae)
