Installing bind on Windows 10

[Danny Mayer]

I wrote the Windows BIND installer to install the BIND daemon (named) as 
a service with minimum privileges. It creates a service account with 
minimum privileges if the service account does not already exist. It was 
never intended to install tools. You don't need the installer if you 
only want dig. Just copy the dig.exe and the library files (including 
OpenSSL) to a folder and add the folder to your PATH environmental 
variable. You don't need a service account to run any of the tools.
