Perhaps we should look into this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/package-manager/package/

We would need to have a "real" installer.

Opened this issue https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/issues/580 long time ago but they don't seem to want it :)

@maxandersen Looks like Windows package manager now supports .zip archives. Maybe they were listening. :)

You might Think so but I havent seen docs indicating it still Wont require a installer in the Zip.

Havent Found example/docs showing it yet. If You Got one Im definitely interested.

Yes, I think you might be right. I see that adding support for .zip issue was closed by this PR. I looked through the commits in the PR and this commit seems to indicate that a "portable installer" is an exe.

So they accept a .zip with an installer in it? Why not a zip and a location to unzip to? Sorry. I will try and keep an eye on things and let you know if I spot anything that indicates that they can install a .zip to a location without running a .exe.
