[issue31623] Allow to build MSI installer from the official tarball

As 3.4 is in security-fix-only mode, it's up to Larry whether this can be merged.  The patch looks fine as far as I can tell, but I can't test it.

Note, though, that you are likely to be the only person on Earth using this installer, since there will be no more binary releases of 3.4, the installer was swapped out for 3.5, and the maintainer of the old installer has been away for several years now.  The new installer (in use since 3.5.0) almost certainly doesn't suffer from this issue.
