setup: exclude some internal UCRT files When attempting to build the Inno installer locally, I was getting several file not found errors when py2exe was crawling DLL dependencies. The missing DLLs appear to be "internal" DLLs used by the Universal C Runtime (UCRT). In many cases, the missing DLLs don't appear to exist on my system at all! Some of the DLLs have version numbers that appear to be N+1 of what the existing version number is. Maybe the "public" UCRT DLLs are probing for version N+1 at load time and py2exe is picking these up? Who knows. This commit adds the non-public UCRT DLLs as found by py2exe on my system to the excluded DLLs set. After this change, I'm able to produce an Inno installer with an appropriate set of DLLs.

WiX installer source files
==========================

The files in this folder are used by the thg-winbuild [1] package
building architecture to create a Mercurial MSI installer. These files
are versioned within the Mercurial source tree because the WXS files
must kept up to date with distribution changes within their branch. In
other words, the default branch WXS files are expected to diverge from
the stable branch WXS files. Storing them within the same repository is
the only sane way to keep the source tree and the installer in sync.

The MSI installer builder uses only the mercurial.ini file from the
contrib/win32 folder.

The MSI packages built by thg-winbuild require elevated (admin)
privileges to be installed due to the installation of MSVC CRT libraries
under the C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS folder. Thus the InnoSetup installers may
still be useful to some users.

To build your own MSI packages, clone the thg-winbuild [1] repository
and follow the README.txt [2] instructions closely. There are fewer
prerequisites for a WiX [3] installer than an InnoSetup installer, but
they are more specific.
