Introducing NanaZip Preinstall Support

[MouriNaruto]

I have posted a tweet for finding OEMs who want to help me request the preinstall permissions for NanaZip. It can make people install NanaZip offline properly because the offline license XML file is needed for installing offline via PowerShell or DISM.

Recently, Moespirit Tech reached out and helped me acquire Microsoft Store preinstall permission as the OEM sponsor. I have updated the Relevant People document to let NanaZip users know that and show gratitude to them.

Note: The CEO of Moespirit Tech, @SakuraNeko, is one of the NanaZip development team members since the project was created. I helped them create Windows preinstall images for their Intel NUC devices intended for IoT.

I have added the preinstall package for these NanaZip versions:

For the latest stable and preview versions:

• NanaZip 2.0 Update 1 (2.0.450.0)
• NanaZip 3.0 Preview 0 (3.0.756.0)

For the last stable and preview versions with Windows 10 Build 17763 support:

• NanaZip 1.2 (1.2.252.0)
• NanaZip 2.0 Preview 1 (2.0.313.0)

Interesting info about adding the expected functionality:

Microsoft has allowed you to download programs directly from the Microsoft Store website, without the participation of the store's application. All you have to do is go to apps.microsoft.com to download a small installer of the selected application.

I checked the solution, the installer is downloaded to the disk (nanazip preview installer.exe), I was installed correctly on Windows 11 Pro (I have Microsoft Store)

The new EXE installer still requires online access on the machine running it, which doesn’t suit the scenario here.
