Tobias Nießen 0ae8bf8dbc msi: do not create AppData\Roaming\npm 
This effectively reverts e431cae7e7 due to
security concerns. The directory is being created with elevated
privileges but its path may depend on an unprivileged user's environment
variables. Creating a directory in certain sensitive locations can cause
Windows to become inoperable.

Creating AppData\Roaming\npm was an intentional addition in order to
resolve https://github.com/nodejs/node-v0.x-archive/issues/8141, which
appears to have been a common issue for users of npm. However, this was
implemented before 4cfe5eb9af, which
changed the MSI installation scope to perMachine. There were concerns
about creating the npm directory in that PR, albeit not related to
security (see https://github.com/nodejs/node-v0.x-archive/pull/25640).

There have been no complaints about lack of localization in the

To support Performance Counters on Windows, a number of
global `COUNTER_` methods were added that are undocumented
and really only intended to be used internally by Node.js.

Unfortunately, the perfctr support apparently hasn't even
worked for quite a while and no one has even complained.

This removes the perfctr support and replaces the global
functions with deprecated non-ops for now, with the intent
of removing those outright in the next major release cycle.

João Reis 4cfe5eb9af win,msi: change InstallScope to perMachine 
This is an adaptation of 8e80528453.

Original commit message:

  The MSI install scope was set to the WiX default, which is per-user.
  However, with UAC, it could not be installed by a standard user
  because InstallPrivileges is elevated by default, hence the install
  scope should be set to per-machine. Furthermore, the default install
  path is a per-machine location and setting the system path requires
  administrator privileges.

  By changing the InstallScope to perMachine, Start Menu shortcuts are
  placed in ProgramData and not the installing user's AppData folder,
  making the shortcuts available to other users. This also fixes the
  installation when AppData is a network folder.

  The custom action is necessary to allow upgrades. Since a per-machine
  MSI cannot upgrade an application installed per-user, the custom
  action checks if there is going to be an upgrade to a previous
  version installed per-user and sets the installation as per-user to
  allow upgrading. Hence, the advantages of installing per-machine will
  only apply in fresh installations.

Mathias Küsel 668bde8ac0 win,msi: broadcast WM_SETTINGCHANGE after install 
In theory the msi should broadcast a 'WM_SETTINGCHANGE' message to all
windows after modifying the PATH environment variable. This ensures that
the new PATH is visible to other processes without restarting windows
(although it's still necessary to close and reopen active console
windows).

Unfortunately, the broadcast doesn't always happen, for unknown reasons.
That's why this patch adds a custom action that unconditionally
broadcasts a WM_SETTINGCHANGE message.
