Windows binary installers

Any release of robotology-superbuild comes also with Windows binaries, robotology-dependencies-installer-win64.exe that installs a custom vcpkg installation in C:/robotology/vcpkg for compile from source the robotology software, and robotology-full-installer-win64.exe that also installs the software built by the robotology-superbuild in C:/robotology/robotology.

In both cases, the installer offer an options to create and append all the necessary user environment variables to use the C++ libraries and the binaries without any further configuration. Note that you may want to opt out from this if in your system you also use other kind of C++ libraries system to avoid conflicts, and instead manually invoke the following scripts to setup the environments as necessary:

• C:/robotology/scripts/setup.bat : Batch script to set the environment variables in a Command Prompt terminal.
• C:/robotology/scripts/setup.sh : Bash script to set the environment variables in a Git for Windows bash terminal,
  that can be included in the .bash_profile.
• C:/robotology/scripts/addPathsToUserEnvVariables.ps1 : Powershell scripts to permanently add or remove the environment variables in the User Environment Variables. This is the script that is executed by the installer when the option "Update Environment Variables" is selected. The environment can be cleaned by any environment variable added by addPathsToUserEnvVariables.ps1 by executing the script removePathsToUserEnvVariables.ps1.

Furthermore, if you do not have Visual Studio 2019 installed on your machine, the installer requires the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019 to be installed on your machine, that can be downloaded at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads, in particular you need to install the file https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x64.exe .
