remove versioning dependency from install path

[eggman]

Hey PR Devs,

I am not sure if I am missing some reason that the PRMM install folder needs to be "PRMM_02". By making the mod path version dependent, ancillary installers such as map packs need to be updated each time the version / install path changes.

Right now my installer is set to "PRMM_02". When PRMM 3 is released, it will have to be updated to install to PRMM_03, and so on...

There is no way to "autodetect" the install patch of a mod afaik (if there is a reg key, please let me know what it is).

It would make my life easier hehe if.... the PR mod path / install dir was a constant. So for example, when PRMM 0.3 is released, y'all move to "/mods/pr/" as the install dir, that way nothing changes going forward.

Not really a big deal for me, it will take a minor amount of work to change it on my end, rather it's a bit of a pain for ppl who may have to download map pack installers again (if they are not so inclined to move them manually .. I like to assume everyone is smart but at least as lazy as me).

you can read this registry entries to determine the path for prmm:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Project Reality Mini-Mod 0.2 rev.1_is1]

That leaves you with the problem of how to identify the right installed program. With PRMM 0.3 most of those things will change, thus not really addressing eggman's original question.

Roger, I'll pass this on.
