The412Banner 8e1a676f19 Windows components: lay out installer .exe wrappers without running them (#480)
* Windows components: lay out installer .exe wrappers without running them

The components page could only take .msi packages apart; most catalog entries ship an
installer .exe, so VC++ runtimes, .NET Framework 4.0-4.8 and the .NET Core/5+ runtimes sat
under 'Need a Windows installer'. droiddeck-msi-install now opens those wrappers and lays
out the packages inside the same way:

- WiX bundles (Visual C++ 2012-2022, .NET Core/5+ desktop runtimes): the .wixburn section
  names the containers, each a cabinet found by its header (signing moves them); payloads
  get the names the bundle manifest lists, so each package finds its cab1.cab beside it.
  ARM64 packages are skipped, x86 and x64 both laid out.
- Self-extracting cabinets (Visual C++ 2005-2010): cabextract, external cabinet beside the
  package (vc_red.cab).
- Self-extracting 7-Zip archives (.NET Framework 4.0-4.8): 7-Zip, now bundled with the
  msitools (Arch Linux ARM 7zip 26.04: 7z + its 7z.so plugin, licences beside the others).
  The complete product (netfx_Full_*) wins over the 4.0 parts and the per-Windows copies.
- An .exe that is its own setup program (NSIS, InnoSetup) reports that it holds no package.
- --unpack opens an archive for the app: DirectX's redistributable for XACT's cabinet picks.

The app executes the remaining catalog steps offline: set_windows (HKCU\Software\Wine
Version), set_register_key, get_from_cab (through --unpack) and 'uninstall Wine Mono' (the
mscoree override beside it is what matters), and reads url/file_name the catalog nests under
'environment' on a few .NET entries. Setup-program installers stay in the waiting section
with a note that says what they are.

Verified on this branch's engine with msitools, cabextract and 7z: VC++ 2010 x64 (19 files,
61 values), VC++ 2022 x64 bundle (26 files, 66 values), .NET 4.0 (1053 files, 6056 values,
Framework64\v4.0.30319 with clr.dll and mscorlib.dll, NDP\v4 keys) and .NET 4.8 (1633
files, 522 GAC assemblies, 6495 values). Not yet run on a device.

* Windows components: the pressed row greys out and shows its own two-step progress bar

Pressing a switch now greys that row at once and runs a thin bar across it: the download
0..100, then the install 0..100, with a caption naming the file or the stage (a dependency's
name in front while that installs first). Turning a component off greys the row the same way
until the pick is saved. The page-wide bar at the bottom is gone; Done waits on the busy row.

droiddeck-msi-install reports how far along it is ('progress 37% placing files'): reading,
each cabinet, every 5% of files placed, the registry, done - and a wrapper maps each package
into its share, so a bundle's two packages run 10..55 and 55..100. The app parses the percent
and passes a typed Progress (component, stage, phase, percent) up to the editor.

* Windows components: the ones turned on sort to the top of the list

In 'All components' the picks for this game come first, in their usual alphabetical order
among themselves; turning one off returns it to its place. The row moves once the install has
finished and the pick is saved, not while its progress bar is running.

* Windows components: an 'Installed for this game' section under the recommendations

What is turned on for this game gets its own section between Recommended and All components,
alphabetical; the recommendations stay where they are (a recommended pick stays there). A
component in the section leaves All components, and goes back to its place when turned off.
LB/RB jump through the new section too.

The412BannerandThe412Banner 08559a02f8 Windows components: install .msi packages (XNA, PhysX, GFWL, MSXML...) without running them (#347)
* Windows components: install .msi packages (XNA, PhysX, GFWL, MSXML...) without running them

droiddeck-msi-install reads a Windows Installer package's tables with msiinfo and unpacks its
cabinets with cabextract, then lays out what Wine's msiexec would have installed: files at their
64-bit Windows paths (Program Files (x86), syswow64...), .NET assemblies in the GAC, side-by-side
assemblies in winsxs, and the registry values in the view the component writes through. Conditions,
features and the folder-setting custom actions are evaluated as on Windows 10 64-bit; what needs
the package's own code (DXSETUP, self-registration) is listed in the component's notes.

droiddeck-wincomponents puts a component's drive_c tree into the prefix (keeping the prefix's own
spelling of each folder) and writes its registry values into system.reg/user.reg before launch,
following Wine's link keys (Wow6432Node\Classes, CurrentControlSet...). Turning it off puts every
value back and takes an added PATH entry out again.

The app installs these from the Windows components menu like the DLL ones: it downloads the .msi
into the runtime and runs the installer there (GuestCommand). msitools 0.106 and cabextract 1.11
come from Arch Linux ARM, pinned in tools/msitools/packages.txt and hosted on the msitools-0.106-r1
release. wine-gecko stays hidden (Proton ships it) and wine-mono keeps waiting (uninstall step).

* Windows components: open with the top switch focused, by touch or by pad

The dialog's window starts in touch mode, where a switch cannot take focus, and the first switch
was asked once, two frames after the list loaded, only when a pad opened it - racing the dialog's
own Done focus. Now it always puts the window in pad mode, holds Done while the list loads and
then asks the top switch every frame until it has focus.

* Windows components: give msitools its own libraries; show a failed install on its row

msiinfo and cabextract sit with their libraries in /usr/local/lib/droiddeck-msitools, which the
loader does not search: every .msi install stopped at "libmsi-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared
object file". droiddeck-msi-install now runs them with that folder on LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

A failed install also says so under the component itself ("Could not install: ..."), not
only at the foot of the dialog, past the list.
