[vpn-help] Windows 8 Compatible

[Matthew Grooms]

Benedikt,

The installer would not allow the VPN client to be installed as it 
wasn't able to identify Windows 8. I just added support to this and 
tested the install and basic operation on both a Windows 8 32 and 64 bit 
VM. Everything appeared to work as expected. In other words, the 2.2.0 
RC1 should install on Windows 8 platforms without enabling any 
compatibility settings.
