-- Run AE Installer
-- for Anniversary Edition Seven
-- by Iritscen
-- Serves as a forking alias which opens either the AE Installer, or, if the AEI is
--      not found, the AEI Updater so it can install the Installer. Used as both a
--      shortcut for the user and as a part of the AE Setup process.
-- History:
--   1.1.0 - Now looking for Mono in the /Library/Frameworks path that it's actually
--              installed in, as 10.13 does not seem to be registering the paths.d
--              extension to $PATH and it's more foolproof to just get to it directly.
--   1.0.9 - No code changes, but needed to re-build in 10.12 in order for it to work
--              in 10.12.
--   1.0.8 - Now that Mono is installed in /usr/local/bin/ in 10.11, we need to add
--              that path to PATH when invoking Java.
--   1.0.7 - Now an AppleScriptObjC application to ensure signing integrity and OS
--              compatibility for 10.6 through 10.11.
--   1.0.6 - The previous method fails sometimes, e.g. in 10.7 with Apple Java
--              installed, so now we are just looking in either place and calling Java
--              when we find it.
--   1.0.5 - Removing "which java" as "smart" method for finding Java, as it can now
--              return a value like "/usr/bin/java" even when Java is not really
--              there; now calling Java using a fixed path for 10.6 and another fixed
--              path for 10.7+.
--   1.0.4 - Calling Java through command-line again before falling back to Internet
--              Plug-Ins location, to restore 10.6 compatibility.
--   1.0.3 - Instead of escaping only space characters in paths, put paths in quotes
--              to avoid need for escaping entirely.
--   1.0.2 - Calling Java at Internet plug-in location instead of using basic command-
--              line "java", as only the JDK installs command-line Java.
--   1.0.1 - Now setting environment to UTF-8 in order to avoid 'Ä' problem in Java 7.
--   1.0   - Initial release.
