Windows installer doesn't purge old Plugins folder when updating from 6.5.x

The Windows installer should remove the old plugins from the Plugins folder when updating from 6.5.x to 7.x
Backing them up might be a better idea, in case any of them are custom and not yet converted to 7.0 style. mv Plugins Plugins.6, mkdir Plugins etc.
I've hardcoded today's stock plugins in the installer. We had already done this when moving eg. iTunes to its own folder. The setup therefore won't touch 3rd party plugins.
change 12570 - please test and re-open if necessary
