win,msi: broadcast WM_SETTINGCHANGE after install In theory the msi should broadcast a 'WM_SETTINGCHANGE' message to all windows after modifying the PATH environment variable. This ensures that the new PATH is visible to other processes without restarting windows (although it's still necessary to close and reopen active console windows). Unfortunately, the broadcast doesn't always happen, for unknown reasons. That's why this patch adds a custom action that unconditionally broadcasts a WM_SETTINGCHANGE message.

win,msi: change InstallScope to perMachine This is an adaptation of 8e80528453aca0354422162e09c7c9f4700ddb1e. Original commit message: The MSI install scope was set to the WiX default, which is per-user. However, with UAC, it could not be installed by a standard user because InstallPrivileges is elevated by default, hence the install scope should be set to per-machine. Furthermore, the default install path is a per-machine location and setting the system path requires administrator privileges. By changing the InstallScope to perMachine, Start Menu shortcuts are placed in ProgramData and not the installing user's AppData folder, making the shortcuts available to other users. This also fixes the installation when AppData is a network folder. The custom action is necessary to allow upgrades. Since a per-machine MSI cannot upgrade an application installed per-user, the custom action checks if there is going to be an upgrade to a previous version installed per-user and sets the installation as per-user to allow upgrading. Hence, the advantages of installing per-machine will only apply in fresh installations.
