The Windows installer fails when running unelevated #253

Description

Since #251, the installer packages the VC redistributable, which is a machine-wide install, even though the Swift toolchain itself if a per-user install. This step hence fails when running the installer unelevated. We might be able to switch back to using ExePackage, which I believe will show an elevation prompt but has other limitations on detecting prior installations, or we could mark that step Vital="false" and allow it to fail when run unelevated.
