[Request]: Upgrade BeyondCompare 4.4.7.28397 to 5.0.1.29877

[BradKnowles]

Prerequisites

• I have searched all issues/PRs to ensure it has not already been reported or fixed.

Criteria

• Reasonably well-known and widely used (e.g. if it's a GitHub project, it should have at least 100 stars and/or 50 forks)
• English interface (or at least English documentation)
• Latest stable version
• Full version (i.e. not a trial version)
• Fairly standard install (e.g. uses a version-specific download URL, no elaborate pre/post install scripts)

Some Indication of Popularity/Repute

This is already an existing package, just requesting an upgrade to latest major version.

For Version 5, they removed the MSI installers and added CLI parameters.

MSI installers were removed for BC5.

To silently install for all users and disable the "Check For Updates" action, use the BC5 installer command line switches: /VERYSILENT /NORESTART /ALLUSERS /DISABLEUPDATES

Hi folks, just to let you know I created a PR#14026 for that matter.

Beyond Compare 5 is out of beta phase nowadays.

Would be nice if someone could comment in the PR whether it worked for you.
