[Suggestion] Change the Browse For Folder window

[Jeff]

Hello there devs, I have a request for you!

Request: Change the Browse for folder window in the Rainmeter Installer (not SkinInstall, but the NSIS app that installs the software) to a newer API since Win XP is discontinued and Vista upwards has a better replacement

Story:

Hehe, last time I saw this window was on Windows XP.
Since Rainmeter is now supported only on Win 7 (or Vista) upwards, I think you should change it to the better, MUCH BETTER Browse For Folder/Select Folder

*drum roll please*

Now THIS, this is beautiful.

https://github.com/rainmeter/rainmeter/blob/master/Build/Installer/Installer.nsi#L391 I think this might be the thing you guys need to change since it's the only thing that has Select and Folder and seems like some Windows APi

Fun Fact: Windows XP and SkinInstaller have SHBrowseForFolderA and SHBrowseForFolderW, which is a hybrid of the horrible thing in the first pic and the window from the second pic

Apologies: Sorry for the horrible format of the suggestion.

Still related to the app installer, someone either forgot to change this or this is the year when Rainmeter got relicensed, who knows.

Yeah, we use NSIS to build the installer, and rarely look at that code. We may look into this before the next final release.

I dropped the ball on this, and will correct it before the next final release. We went years without changing it and I wanted to keep it current, but it slipped through.
