Remove InstallTest

[LexiconCode]

@quintijn This pr removes InstallTest form the natlink code base.

• This has been tested on dns 13 and a new compiled installer.

As we are making progress to a release this code should be removed as its has served its porpoise in early development.

I can update natlinkv5.0.0.pre if needed.

Configuring natlink.ini needs to be in the docs. However a basic natlink.ini should be generated by the installer during install time.

ToDo

• Accomodate normal people: .natlink -> natlink.ini
• Look for natlink.ini in /users/XXX/Documents
  • because /users/XXX not easily found - no shortcut provided standard by Windows 10
  • Documents folder is often backed up, but not its parent

OK LexiconCode, go ahead. On second thought, we need to discuss this, see Telegram...

About the location of natlink.ini: I was working on something before, but it got rejected by fusenthasticus, because he found it too complicated.

The HOME directory should be IMHO in C:\Users\xxxx and not pointing to the underlying Documents directory.

The .natlink directory comes in this HOME directory when you do not configure anything. Bad luck about backups. The .natlink config file is restored quick enough after a loss. Rename to natlink.ini is a good idea.

I again propose to support an env variable DICTATIONTOOLBOXHOME which a user can set to the Documents folder or a choosen folder in the documents folder:

DICTATIONTOOLBOXHOME = C:\Users\XXX\Documents or

DICTATIONTOOLBOXHOME = C:\Users\XXX\Documents\DTHOME

It should be created at start of configure time.

I will in each case change ".natlink" into "natlink.ini"

Please react on my other proposal... Greetings, Quintijn

"The HOME directory should be IMHO in C:\Users\xxxx and not pointing to the underlying Documents directory."

Yes, makes sense. Config files don't go in Documents.

"I again propose to support an env variable DICTATIONTOOLBOXHOME which a user can set to the Documents folder or a choosen folder in the documents folder:"

Yes, especially for testing multiple installs, or for specific places on cloud drives. If environment variable doesn't exists (and probably shouldn't by default) then it defaults to the home folder.

.toml seems to be the new .ini.
