Description
In this PR I've managed to upgrade the installer to use WiX Toolset v4 and to ease up the installer build process since the old one was a little tricky and the toolset was deprecated.
The installer have been rewritten from scratch using the new WiX v4 schema and with little improvements.
Some scripts have been added to improve the installer build process. In fact:
installer/Windows/scripts/CreateWIXComponents.ps1PowerShell script will automatically generate WiX components to be put inside the installer;installer/Windows/x64CreateInstaller.ps1PowerShell script will automatically create the installer inside theinstaller/Windows/buildfolder;New documentation on the installer creation process have been added so it's a bit easier to remember.
