Added %~dp0 to installs

[faniereynders]

Hopefully this finally fixes #12 and #15

@shanselman you're (not yet) a contributer, please have a look at this PR if you can 😁

Testing...

[shanselman]

1. the version.dat temp file should also be over in %dp0, not in the current dir.

2. Same with download.dat.

3. DownloadFile is wrong, as it takes a URL and a FILEname, not a full path+ file name. I'll make a small change.

[shanselman]

Try this instead of the DownloadFile() call. It'll give you a free progress bar.

powershell -Command "Import-Module BitsTransfer; Start-BitsTransfer -Source '%url%' -Destination '%exe%'"

[faniereynders]

Will give it a go, thank you!

BTW - you're now also a contributor @shanselman :)

Also, I hear you about the tools and jq and all that, but I'm also wondering if:

C:\Users\scott> $url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dotnet/core/master/release-notes/releases.json"
$j = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url | ConvertFrom-Json 
$j | select version-sdk

version-sdk

I need to run, but I'll look more later?

That's great, thanks for your feedback @shanselman! My initial aim was to use almost no PowerShell, but I suppose it's an obvious choice. PS is just awesome. Maybe the whole thing should be PS scripts...

[shanselman]

Good question. Perhaps, but your cmd approach allows us to use cmd.exe (which I use a lot) so perhaps we do a hybrid to start? You've made it modular in that it needs to "get a json, extract latest version, put it in a file" and that means we can just remove the need for the \tools folder by using one line PowerShell commands as functions. Just like I replaced DownloadFile with a nicer one, but it still fits into the larger batch.

If you use PS, you could place it on Powershell Gallery or Chocolatey, and make it more installer friendly (instead od copying scripts around)
