Summary	0002638: Windows installer doesn't create the macro folder
Description	The installer doesn't create the C:/Users/<name_of_windows_user>/AppData/Roaming/FreeCAD/Macro folder during the installation process, therefore user macro fails to run (e.g. the dxf importer, that has to be manually installed when importing a dwg file, even if the program lets you do it automatically it does not work due to the inexistence of the mentioned folder)
Steps To Reproduce	remove C:/Users/<name_of_windows_user>/AppData/Roaming/FreeCAD folder and its contents and reinstall freecad.
Tags	No tags attached.
