Windows installer issue

When I use the Windows installer and select the options to install Gifski and FFMpeg, the required files are installed, but I still need to go into the Extras section of the application's configuration menu and tell it where the files are.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Download and run installer on Windows.
    • Download MSI installer and select options to install FFmpeg and Gifski.
    • If using winget to install, it doesn't let you customize installation options, so you must...
      1. Go to Add / Remove Programs and then Modify, and choose FFmpeg. (Gifski is chosen by default and already installed).
  2. Open ScreenToGif Options.
  3. Click on Extras in the list to the left. The Available external tools, FFmpeg and Gifski, are not available.

  4. User must manually locate the files that the installer installed.

    File Location
    ffmpeg.exe %ProgramData%\ScreenToGif
    gifski.dll %ProgramFiles%\ScreenToGif

The app will end up datecting the files when you want to use them, it was just not detecting when in the Settings window. I changed that.
