About
    I had an issue with Word 2013 add-ons and App-V, where it would prompt an warning it needed
    repairing. Even though there was almost no registry or VFS files in the package that could 
    cause the prompt. I wrote this script to create a shortcut with the appvve hook, as that 
    seemed to work ok.
