The implements the needed functionality to restart the explorer.exe process while installing. This will not cause any dataloss, since all programs keeps running.

This, along with a small change to NSIS installer will fix the issue with missing context menus when the old version is being updated. This is a one time thing, going from 8.5.1 and below to 8.5.2 and above. Going from 8.5.2 to a later version won't require this to run, so it is a one time thing.
