[PD] Calling for Pd Windows installer tests.

Hello Christof,
These last tests were made to question what Lucarda was pointing out:
/"In your case we know that pd.exe or pd.com (these are the ones we
filter via tasklist.exe) refuses to open because is blacklisted by the
OS so detection is not working as expected (for your case, of course)."/
As during these tests Avast was totally disabled, none of pd.com, pd.exe
and/or pd.dll could be backlisted, the same for the system.
In add prior disabling my AV, I have checked Avast quarantine and
nothing about any pd.*, the same for the system.
Current thinking:
The setup of my PC is not compatible with the modifications/adds
introduced into pd.dll 0.54.0.
I will now test the GDB-Pd[*] app workaround suggested by Lucarda.
Note: I'm also waiting for the next release of Plugdata based on Pd
0.54.0 to see if the issue is the same or not.
The test with Purr Data 2.19.3, which is working well, is not relevant
as it's still using Pd 0.48.0.
