Install tests

install a previous version on a clean machine (a clean machine doesn't have the %localappdata%\Microsoft\PowerToys folder)
open the Settings and for each module change at least one option
open the FancyZones editor and create two custom layouts:
- a canvas layout with 2 zones, use unicode chars in the layout's name
- one from grid template using 4 zones and splitting one zone
- apply the custom canvas layout to the primary desktop
- create a virtual desktop and apply the custom grid layout
- if you have a second monitor apply different templates layouts for the primary desktop and for the second virtual desktop
install the new version (it will uninstall the old version and install the new version)

verify the settings are preserved and FancyZones configuration is still the same
test installing as SYSTEM (LocalSystem account)
- Download PsTools from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/psexec
- Run PowerToys installer with psexec tool psexec.exe -sid <path_to_installer_exe
- Brief check if all modules are working

PER-USER and PER-MACHINE TESTS:
- Install previous version on a clean machine and update with new per-machine version. Ensure that it is installed in Program files and that registry entries are under HKLM/Software/Classes/PowerToys. Go trhough different modules and ensure that they are working correctly.
- Try installing per-user version over already installed per-machine version and ensure that proper error message is shown.
- Remove PowerToys and install per-user version. Ensure that it is installed in /Local/PowerToys and that registry entries are under HKCU/Software/Classes/PowerToys. Go trhough different modules and ensure that they are working correctly.
- Create a new user and install per-user version there as well. Go trhough different modules and ensure that they are working correctly. Ensure that changing settings for one user does not change settings of other user.
