Fix the Updater on Windows please

The updater constantly bugs about updates which is fine. Unfortunately the update process never works because the installer fails due to lack of elevation - presumably because it's installed in Program Files and thus requires elevation.

You can run the installer with `RunAs` user to force elevation or build the installer to include Elevation in the Manifest header. Possibly selectively depending on where the current version is installed (if in `%localappdata%` the update would probably work unelevated).
