Windows installation instructions will not work

[glennsarti]

Unfortunately the installation instructions in the release notes for Windows will never work as it appears it's just a copy-n-paste from the linux/mac instructions.

As a windows user
I would like to install reg
On a Windows platform

Note - the windows binaries in the releases are actual windows executables so WSL is not really an option

---

Also, this tool installs as reg.exe which is the same filename as the OS installed registry tool reg.exe (Back to at least WinXP days). There should be a known issue or release note that you'll need to modify your path appropriately or using fully qualified exe names
