Some applications are not detected when installing #631

I've been trying out WinApps and these were the apps I wanted to use with it: 
Sadly AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor, Visual Studio Installer and FEBuilderGBA are not detected when running WinApps installer so they're not shown in the setup I don't really know why this happens but I'm willing to provide the necessary information. (Please bear with me, this is my first GitHub issue ever-) |

The app detection is somewhat janky, so this happens. Ideally, you write your own app definitions (you can then also contribute them if you wanna) and place them in ~/.local/bin/winapps-src or /usr/local/bin/winapps-src, depending on whether you installed system-wide or for your user You can check the existing app definitiona for this, they're pretty self-explanatory |

Autocad is probably gonna need a GPU, which you cannot pass through unless you have two of them, and even then it's difficult. Using Winapps for GPU-intensive applications can have mixed results at best. |

Yup, "adding" more RAM didn't help either |
