BeyondCompare Chocolatey Package

###Forked from https://github.com/shiftkey/chocolatey-beyondcompare Updated to seek out the latest Version 3 download, for those who haven't upgrade their license to Version 4. Perhaps it would have been easier to just upgrade the license, eh?

Original ReadMe by @ShiftKey... but with a 3 at the end of the name in step 4.

This is the code I use to publish the BeyondCompare package to Chocolatey.

It's actually really easy.

  1. Follow the instructions on chocolatey.org to setup Chocolatey
  2. Clone this repository and navigate to the folder in Powershell
  3. cpack to create the package
  4. cinst beyondcompare3 -Source *"full-directory-path"* to install it locally

And you're done!
