Lock down backup directory ACLs, and let the uninstaller reach IIS
Two findings from the installer review, both of which fail silently.

Database dumps were readable by every authenticated user. A directory created
under ProgramData inherits BUILTIN\Users:(I)(OI)(CI)(RX), and a dump contains
every row including the users table and its password hashes. The installer
applied an owner-only ACL, but only in the branch that CREATED the directory,
so a directory created first by the console (shopdb-admin.ps1 backup) kept the
inherited permissions and the installer could never repair it. The ACL is now
re-applied on every run rather than only on creation, and the grants are made
inheritable with (OI)(CI) so dumps written into the directory later are covered
too. shopdb-admin.ps1 applies the same hardening for the default location, and
for an operator-named path says the dump holds password hashes rather than
silently rewriting the ACL of a directory that is theirs.

Verified on Windows: before, the directory carried BUILTIN\Users:(I)(OI)(CI)
(RX); after, only SYSTEM and Administrators, and a file created inside inherits
exactly those two. Without (OI)(CI) that file would not have been covered.

The uninstaller could not remove anything in IIS. [UninstallRun] launched a
bare "powershell.exe", and the Inno uninstaller is a 32-bit process, so WOW64
resolved it to the 32-bit PowerShell, which cannot see the IIS provider. The
site, application pool and application survived, pointing at a directory that
HAD been deleted, while Windows reported a clean uninstall. It now uses the
same Sysnative path as the [Run] entry, which was the last unshielded launch
site in the file.
