• Creates empty directories Fanfare, SavedLevels, Schemes, and Support in APPDIR/User.
• Writes the following to the registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\Worms2.Exe]
@='''APPDIR'''"\\Worms2.Exe"
"Path"='''APPDIR'''
