This is a port of joyent/node@16bcd68dc5 .
Original commit message:
The original change that added support for running custom actions
during the install process
(joyent/node@e7c84f82c7) assumed that
Visual Studio 2013 is used to generate the installer file.
However, that is not always the case, and older versions of Visual
Studio should allow users to generate Windows installer files. This
change makes the custom actions visual studio project use the visual
studio version that is found by vcbuild.bat.

This commit replaces instances of io.js with Node.js, based on the
recent convergence. There are some remaining instances of io.js,
related to build and the installer.

In theory the msi should broadcast a 'WM_SETTINGCHANGE' message to all
windows after modifying the PATH environment variable. This ensures that
the new PATH is visible to other processes without restarting windows
(although it's still necessary to close and reopen active console
windows).
Unfortunately, the broadcast doesn't always happen, for unknown reasons.
That's why this patch adds a custom action that unconditionally
broadcasts a WM_SETTINGCHANGE message.

Because the UpgradeCode changes with version 1.0.2, older versions won't
be uninstalled automatically. This patch puts a warning in the

Building MSIs for different arch's can sometimes confuse MSBuild and
Wix, isntead run the toolchain externally so we don't have to worry
about which arch cmd.exe is running as.
Noteworthy installer improvements provided here:
* Support in the Installer UI for not installing shortcuts.
* Support in the Installer UI for choosing a custom install directory.
* Command line support for not installing shortcuts (ADDDEFAULT=nodejs)
* Command line support for custom install directory (INSTALLDIR=c:\tools\node)
- Fix: it didn't work for the x86 version of node
- Also add NPM to path
- Also print node version
- Don't change dir to home dir if not started from the start menu
This commit enables ETW events to be fired on Windows for existing
DTrace probes. ETW instrumentation is enabled by default. It
is possible to build node.exe without ETW instrumentation by
using --without-etw option with configure script.
