cream installer can't detect epic games installed by heroic launcher #250

it's 2024/8/10 now and i am still encountering the same problem as issue106 which cream installer can't detect any epic games installed through heroic launcher. At first, I uninstalled epic itself and deleted all its data files (located in C:\ProgramData, C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData and any registry keys i can find), and in this process epic uninstallation program also deleted the game files for me. Then I reboot the computer, and reinstall the game files through heroic launcher(for example cities skylines, alan wake 2, etc). But all the games did not show up in cream installer. Then I take a look at the previous issue, checked the "heroiclibrary.cs" and I am sure that my computer has the "legendary_library.json" file in the desired location which comes with the install path info in it, however, cream installer is still not working. I noticed that in the code it uses "appData.Install.InstallPath" but in the json file it's "install_path", i don't know much about c# and am not sure if this is right. Below are the legendary_library.json file on my computer. legendary_library.json

I noticed that there is a open pull request related to heroic launcher issue.

based on the open pull request, and related code under platform/epiclibrary.cs, I temporarily add a fake epic registry entry and a fake folder on disk, which works for creaminstaller v5.0.0 and heroic launcher v2.14.1.
