====== PowerShell script for checking HippoEDIT version ======
If you for some reason do not want to use built-in HippoEDIT version checking, and you want to have your own schedule for checks, you can use the PowerShell script below to do so. Just create new Task in Windows Task Scheduler and call the script from there.

<file powershell hippo_version_checker.ps1>
<#
The script compares installed HippoEDIT version with the latest published on HippoEDIT web site.
If installed version is older, the information is written into Windows Log and a small information popup appears.  

TODO:
- add a checkbox, do not remind about this version

		$version_installed = $matches[1]
