‘system()’ and ‘system2()’ no longer discard output from the command to
stdout and stderr as often as they used to.

‘system()’ and ‘system2()’ no longer discard output from the command to stdout and stderr as often as they used to.
The MSI installer is now made by an R script, and there is now support for 64-bit builds.
It is now built using ‘WiX 3.0’ rather than ‘WiX 2.0’. (As a result it is about 25% smaller.)
‘setWinProgressBar()’ did not check the type of its ‘'title'’ and ‘'label'’ arguments and might have crashed if they were mis-specified. It now does, thanks to a report by Greg Snow.
