Documentation / install instructions, several problems #226

The file Docs/Thor_install.md states:

Extract the Thor-master\Installed Files subdirectory from the ZIP file to the installation folder of your choice (see details below on how to choose an installation folder ). After this step your installation folder should only contain the Source folder and Thor.APP.

The Installed Files subdirectory in the zip contains Source directory and Thor.APP file and Thor directory.


The file links to download https://github.com/VFPX/Thor/archive/master.zip and extract files from some subdirectory. This is overcomplicated and error prone. A lot of people end up with Thor/Installed Files or Thor/Thor-master/Installed Files
A link to Thor.zip (https://github.com/VFPX/Thor/raw/master/ThorUpdater/Thor.zip) should do. Installed Files is the content of Thor.zip?

It looks like the Thor directory mentioned above is the important part. The Source is compiled into the App, there is no need to put this on the install folder.

If one expand ThorUpdater/Thor.zip without the Source directory, it looks likes it runs without a problem. The Thor.h and the related are missing if one must compile some of the prgs (by implementing #225).
Either

Suggested changes have been made to the installation document for Thor (as well as a few other minor edits).
