cproudlock ce0abee262 Fork PrinterInstaller as PrinterInstallerMap (map UI variant)

Edge policy now blocks .bat downloads and unsigned .exe runs, breaking
the printerinstallermap.asp -> installprinter.asp -> .bat -> EXE flow.

This fork replaces the web map with an in-installer wizard page so the
operator never touches the browser. Same drivers, same install logic,
same /PRINTER= silent path.

Initial commit is a stub: full copy of PrinterInstaller/ with .iss
header rewritten for a distinct AppId, AppName, and OutputBaseFilename
so the two installers can coexist on the same PC. Map page itself is
not yet implemented; tracked work is listed in PrinterInstallerMap/README.md.

WJDT Printer Installer (Map UI)

Forked from PrinterInstaller/ on branch feature/printer-map.

Why a fork

The web flow at printerinstallermap.asp -> installprinter.asp (which downloads a per-selection .bat that invokes the original PrinterInstaller.exe /PRINTER=...) is blocked by current Edge policy: .bat downloads disallowed, unsigned .exe runs disallowed.

This variant replaces the web map UI with an in-installer wizard page so the operator never touches a browser. Same drivers, same install logic, same /PRINTER= silent path - all that changes is the selection UX.

What's new vs PrinterInstaller 2.0

New wizard page: site-map bitmap with clickable printer markers placed at printers.mapleft, maptop coords from ShopDB. Click toggles selection; selections feed the existing checkbox page.
Bundled site map: sitemap2025-dark.png (2550 x 3300, sourced from shopdb/images/) baked into [Files], extracted to {tmp} at install start.
API call extended: api_printers.asp now returns mapleft, maptop per row (additive; older clients ignore).
New AppId GUID, new OutputBaseFilename=PrinterInstallerMap, new AppName so the two installers coexist on the same PC without UninstallString collision.

What's unchanged

Driver bundle (HP UPD, Xerox UPD, Brother MFC, HID FARGO).
Install-PrinterDriver + Install-NetworkPrinter install logic.
/PRINTER="..." and /VERYSILENT /NORESTART silent-install path - existing bat-file deployments would still work if pointed at this EXE binary, but the whole point of the fork is to retire that flow.
ShopDB API base URL (http://192.168.122.151:8080/api_printers.asp).
Custom branding (gea-logo.ico, patrick.bmp, patrick-sm.bmp).

Status

Stub. .iss header renamed; map wizard page not yet implemented. Tracked work:

Extend api_printers.asp to return mapleft, maptop.
Add sitemap2025-dark.png to [Files].
Implement MapPage Pascal procedure (TScrollBox + TImage + click-to-toggle hotspots).
Wire selected printer IDs into the existing SelectedPrinters array used by the checkbox page.
Code-signing cert (separate task - see project memory).
Rebuild + sign + bake into PXE image.

Build / sign / deploy

Same as PrinterInstaller/. See ../PrinterInstaller/README.md for the build matrix.
