Windows installer

[AyaanShah2204]

Here's the PR for the windows installer. I tested on a fork and the autoupdate works as expected.

Prerequisites

• Install Advanced Installer, register it with our license (Anush has this)
• Set up signing releases

For Building MSI and update.txt

run .\windows_installer\build_installer.ps1 -ai_path <path-to-advanced-installer> -version <symantic-version>
for me it looks like .\windows_installer\build_installer.ps1 -ai_path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Caphyon\Advanced Installer 20.9.1\bin\x86\AdvancedInstaller.com" -version 1.0.0

This will create the MSI at .\windows_installer\shark_studio-SetupFiles\shark_studio.msi and the updater at .\windows_installer\shark_updater-SetupFiles\shark_updater.msi

Add these binaries to the nightly release. Nothing else has to be done because the updater will always point to whatever is labelled the latest stable (non-prerelease) version.

For Building the Beta (Nightly) version

Run the aforementioned command with the -beta flag.

This will create the MSI at .\windows_installer\shark_studio-SetupFiles\shark_studio_beta.msi and the updater at .\windows_installer\shark_updater-SetupFiles\shark_updater_beta.msi

Add these to the nightly build so users have access to older nightly versions. Also add these to a new release tag called latest-nightly. All nightly builds will update to whatever binaries are published under the latest-nightly tag.

Concerns

The setup is somewhat funny because there exists state inside the aip files. I will create a google doc explaining this better.
