Uwe Stöhr b3ad82f1f7 Win installer: code review
- use https in URLs
- remove unused code
- use variables if possible

To build the installer do the following:

1. extract the source zip-file to e.g. the path "C:\LyX-Installer"
2. open the file settings.nsh with a text editor
   and adapt there the following paths to the one on your PC, e.g.:
 !define FILES_LYX "C:\LyX-Installer\LyXPackage\LyX"
 !define FILES_DEPS "C:\LyX-Installer\LyX2.2x\lyx-windows-deps-msvc2015"
 !define FILES_QT "C:\LyX-Installer\LyXPackage\LyX"
3. install the latest version 3.x of NSIS (http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Download)
4. install the NSIS Large Strings build (http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Special_Builds)
   (extract the extension ZIP file in your NSIS installation folder and this way overwrite some files) 
5. open the file FindProcDLL Unicode bin.zip (that is part of this bundle),
   extract from it the file FindProc.dll to the folder \Plugins\x86-unicode of
   NSIS's installation folder
6. open the file Inetc.zip (that is part of this bundle),
   extract from it the file INetC.dll to the folder \Plugins\x86-unicode of
   NSIS's installation folder
7. right-click on the file lyx-standard.nsi and choose "Compile NSIS script"
   to compile the standard installer
8. right-click on the file lyx-bundle.nsi and choose "Compile NSIS script"
   to compile the bundle installer
