New Synchronet for Windows upgrade script (for Inno Setup 5)

We haven't had an automated upgrade installer/setup for Windows in a long time and I figured it would be a good thing to make upgrading (from sbbs v3.16c
or later) to v3.21b as easy as possible.

so have you thought of creating a full updater/installer into a script, where it downloads all the files you need and updates them?

or do you have that already? i just use the transplant method.

It's occurred to me it could be possible, but no plans to do that.

It would be a great feature to have. It would be a sophisticated way to update your bbs.

I use yt-dlp to grab music and videos and i noticed it has
update features. you can upgrade or downgrade or even change repository.
