C# Class Bloom.InstallerSupport

Code to work with the Squirrel installer package. This package basically just installs and manages updating the appropriate files; thus, tasks like updating the registry must be done in the application, which is invoked with certain command-line arguments to request this. (However, Bloom sets up all the registry entries every time it is run, to support multi-channel installation with the most recently run version taking responsibility for opening files and handling downloads.)
