[Fixed] r3dfox 148 loses \distribution customizations on upgrade

It overwrites my policies.json with its own policies.json when I manually update/install over older version of r3dfox on Windows 7.

Confirmed

Looks like r3dfox itself uses a built-in policies.json to default install uBlock, disable updates, and add 4 search engines.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Fixed in r3dfox Portable 148.0.2

This is fixed in today's release. The distribution directory is now stored within Data and moved to/from both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions. The installer will attempt to copy your policies.json from the App directory on upgrade to this version.
