New minor version. This release starts the Tarma Installer 5.2 series.
Changes in this version:
- Added support for Windows

this gives you full control over the installation of both 64-bit and 32-bit
registry keys and values on 64-bit Windows systems.

configurations and installation
files. These allow you to create installers that contain any mixture
of compressed and uncompressed files: anything from the traditional single
.exe compressed installer to a fully exposed, uncompressed file tree.
- Added new $srcpath() runtime
function, to retrieve the installation source path of uncompressed files
or the build time source path of any installation file.

on the Installer project page.
This hides the add-on uninstaller on Windows XP and later unless the Show
updates box in the Add/Remove Programs control panel is checked.
