Winget Support

[bfcns]

First, I would like to thank you for the great application.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Cannot install the application via WinGet

Describe the solution you'd like An option to install it via winget

This will make the application a little bit more reputable. Also submission to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/filesubmission would make the application work with Windows' Smart App Control feature.

Hi,

I would love to fulfill this feature request! However, I'm simply lacking the knowledge on how to properly package for Windows (i.e. create an installer). I don't use Windows myself (only Linux + macOS).

There is the WiX toolset, which can create an installer. There are also a few other installer frameworks. However, all are lacking some important feature or bring security restrictions with them (like not following some Windows guideline, etc.).

Maybe there are new up-to-date guides? Last time I checked (>1y ago), there wasn't an official Windows documentation I could find. Maybe I googled using the wrong keywords, though.

Any help (from other readers as well) is welcome!
