kitzyandAllen Houchins 7837b8ec8f Add AOMEI Backupper Standard as a Windows Fleet-maintained app (#50021)
<!-- Add the related story/sub-task/bug number, like Resolves #123, or

**Related issue:** #50020

# What this does

Adds **AOMEI Backupper Standard** as a Windows Fleet-maintained app. One
of the 11 apps split out of #48501 that failed the FMA validator; #50016
shipped the 6 that passed.

## Why it was failing

Install and detection were already fine on the SYSTEM-context Windows
runner — the validator installed it and osquery found `AOMEI Backupper`
8.4.0. **Uninstall** was the failure:

```
ERROR msg="Error uninstalling app: exit status 1" app="AOMEI Backupper Standard"
ERROR msg="Output: Uninstaller for 'AOMEI Backupper Standard' not found."
```

AOMEI unified the ARP `DisplayName` across editions around v7.4 — the
registry entry reads `AOMEI Backupper`, with no `Standard` suffix. The
uninstall script searched for the catalog name and matched nothing.
`unique_identifier` was already corrected to `AOMEI Backupper`; this
fixes the uninstall script to match.

## Notes

- **Edition matching.** `AOMEI Backupper` also matches the paid
Pro/Workstation/Server editions — AOMEI shares the DisplayName across
editions and no registry value distinguishes them. Detecting the free
edition specifically isn't possible from inventory.
- **Non-pinned installer URL.**
`https://www2.aomeisoftware.com/download/adb/AOMEIBackupperStd.exe` is a
"latest" URL, so the pinned SHA will drift when AOMEI ships a new build
until the FMA auto-update bumps it.
- x86-only installer, so it lands in `C:\Program Files (x86)`. The
validator's "no changes detected in `C:\Program Files`" line is an
expected warning, not a failure.

# Checklist for submitter

- [x] Input data is properly validated, `SELECT *` is avoided, SQL
injection is prevented (using placeholders for values in statements), JS
inline code is prevented especially for url redirects, and untrusted
data interpolated into shell scripts/commands is validated against shell
metacharacters.
- [x] Timeouts are implemented and retries are limited to avoid infinite
loops

## Testing

- [x] FMA CI validator (install → detect → uninstall) **passes** on the
SYSTEM-context Windows runner — [run
30383902487](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/actions/runs/30383902487)
(`All checks passed`)
- [x] Generated output verified locally: manifest SHA matches the winget
manifest, exists/patched queries reviewed for name + publisher
correctness, `apps.json` is valid JSON with a description filled in.
- [x] QA'd all new/changed functionality manually

## Summary by CodeRabbit

- **New Features**
- Added **AOMEI Backupper Standard** (version **8.4.0.0.0**) to the
Windows software catalog, including verified installer download
(SHA-256).
- Introduced dedicated silent **install** and **uninstall** support,
with version gating and idempotent uninstall behavior when the app isn’t
present.

This is where the code for the public https://fleetdm.com website lives.

Bugs

To report a bug or make a suggestion for the website, create an issue in the fleet GitHub repository.

Testing locally

See https://fleetdm.com/handbook/engineering#test-fleetdm-com-locally

Deploying the website

To deploy changes to the website to production, merge changes to the main branch. If the changes affect the website's code, or touch any files that the website relies on to build content, such as the query library, osquery schema, docs, handbook, articles, etc., then the website will be redeployed.

Wondering how this works? This is implemented in a GitHub action in this repo. Check out the code there to see how it works! For help understanding what sails run and npm run commands in there do, check the scripts in website/package.json and in website/scripts/.

Changing the database schema

To deploy new code to production that relies on changes to the database schema or other external systems (e.g. Stripe), first put the website in "maintenance mode" in Heroku. Then, make your changes in the database schema. Next, if you have a script to fix/migrate existing data, go ahead and run it now. (e.g. sails run fix-or-migrate-existing-data). Then, merge your changes and wait for the deploy to finish. Finally, switch off "maintenance mode" in Heroku.

Note that entering maintenance mode prevents visitors from using the website, so it should be used sparingly, and ideally at low-traffic times of day.

Warning: Doing an especially sensitive schema migration? There is a potential timing issue to consider, thanks to an infrastructure change that eliminated downtime during deploys by using Heroku's built-in support for hot-swapping.

Wiping the production database

I hope you know what you're doing. The "easiest" kind of database schema migration:

sails_datastores__default__url='REAL_DB_URI_HERE' sails run wipe

Then when you see the sailboat, hit CTRL+C to exit. All done!
