qortal/WindowsInstaller/README.md
CalDescent 8bdad377d7 Removed outdated qortal.jar from "WindowsInstaller/Install Files" directory.
Including an older JAR in the source code only leads to confusion, because a zip of the source code is automatically included with each github release. From what I can see, there is no need for it to be here. Added to .gitignore so we have the option of keeping a local copy.
