htmlInstaller - always looks up for index.html in current ("downloads..") directory #152

Without looking at the code, anything run/extracted should go into a new temporary directory and not overwrite or try to open something that was already there. |

This feature (opening from current folder instead of embeded resources) is usefull, but only on testing stage - when you need to quickly fix html or css without rebuilding webinstaller. It should be disabled after final webinstaller is released to production. |

Hi,
There is a problem with web installer build with htmlInstaller.exe template (".\InstallerLinker.exe" /Template:"C:\Program Files (x86)\dotNetInstaller\bin\htmlInstaller.exe" [..]).
Web installer (built from htmlInstaller.exe) is usually downloaded from web page into "Downloads.." directory by user and run from that directory.
Web installer displays at start "index.html" file loaded from current directory or from embeded resources (https://github.com/dotnetinstaller/dotnetinstaller/blob/master/htmlInstaller/HtmlWindow.cpp lines 72 - 86).
The problem occures when user previously download any file named "index.html" and save it in default download directory which is no so rare.
As a solution I would like to have an option for InstallerLinker to ignore local files and use only embeded files, or have an option in configuration to change file name form "index.html" to someting much more unique (i.e. "[some guid].html")
