Windows installer doesn't request elevation

[Dale McCoy]

The Windows installer wants to install in Widelands in Program Files (x86), but doesn't request the elevation necessary in order to do so. Installers that have any intention of putting data in protected parts of the filesystem should request elevation.

Alternatively, Widelands can install choose to itself in AppData/Local by default, in which the elevation is no longer required.

Actually, Widelands will request C:\bin\Widelands rather than Program Files, unless you have an older version already installed in Program Files. We recommend that you uninstall the old version first.

The not requesting elevation is on purpose, so people won't need admin rights to play.

Yes, at the moment the installer does not require elevated privileges because:
- I've not figured out how Innosetup can handle this in a good way (is always or never).
- If installed into C:\Program Files\ with elevated privs, Widelands also does only run with elevated privs.

That is, because it currently writes the log file into the same directory as the binary resides.

We'll figure this out with the next release.
