Discussion on ways to install MuseScore 3 on Windows
@Jojo-Schmitz has added the way of silent or unattended installation for Advanced users since the revision of Install on Windows for MuseScore 3 on 2019-10-29 12:32.
But I can't run the given command, maybe because the X and Y have specific values?

Well, that's a loooong time ago... and had been copied accross from the Mu2 handbood IIRC
Of course "MuseScore-X.Y.msi" needs to be the real and full name of the .msi file, like "MseScore-3.6.2.548021803-x86.msi"

I've further updated it to a) make clear that WinGet needs Windows 10, the WinGet msstore version is outdated and that you need to go to down to the https://musescore.org/en/download#Older-and-unsupported-versions for the 'regular' downloads

OK. I have furtherly updated it to:
- Add ways to get the version of Windows.
- Especially provide a C++ program for checking the version requirement.
However there seems to be some bugs in the code causing incorrect results, needing review.

The official documentation says it applies to Windows 10 and 11. I'm not sure whether it can be used for versions as low as Windows 7.

All way to complicated. People should know what version of Windows they are using.
And those who don't know for sure won't be able to grab and compile some source code.
On Windows 10 and 11
