catbref 4cc0e7845f Add instructions and files used to build installers for Windows 
For this commit, the included .aip file, and qortal.jar, match
what was used to produce the installer for release v1.2.2.

In a future commit, maybe remove qortal.jar as it is only included
here to illustrate current location in build tree.

Updates to .aip file could be, and maybe even should be, committed.

This build toolchain uses AdvancedInstaller v16 or better but
may require an (expensive) enterprise licence. It is possible
to obtain an 'open source'-use free licence from AdvancedInstaller
by contacting them directly. However this may result in restricted
functionality with AdvancedInstaller and some installer features,
e.g. multi-language support, may have be to removed.

General build instructions

If this is your first time opening the qortal.aip file then you might need to adjust configured paths, or create a dummy D: drive with the expected layout.

Typical build procedure:

  • Overwrite the qortal.jar file in Install-Files\
  • Open AdvancedInstaller with qortal.aip file
  • If releasing a new version, change version number in:
    • "Product Information" side menu
    • "Product Details" side menu entry
    • "Product Details" tab in "Product Details" pane
    • "Product Version" entry box
  • Click away to a different side menu entry, e.g. "Resources" -> "Files and Folders"
  • You should be prompted whether to generate a new product key, click "Generate New"
  • Click "Build" button
  • New EXE should be generated in Qortal-SetupFiles\ folder with correct version number
