Regarding your Windows blog post, I wasn’t able to find a comment section there, so I’ll leave the comment here 😅
Another possibility of installer creation for Windows your article does not mention is NSIS install system, which has amazing upside that it is text specification-driven (see e.g. the one I’ve used for my jam entry), and could be run on any *NIX and produce neat installers for Windows :)
Oh dude! I have this available in Guix too!
I have to give it a go.
The main problem I have with windows is it’s hard for me to test, so even if I use some kind of installer tool I have no chance to test it properly so I can’t send it to my clients directly…
It’s kind of an issue, but this looks really promising.
I may write a new post with my findings soonish, and I’ll include this one along with a review of my experience with Kawa.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. It’s greatly appreciated!
Six months later I’ve tried this and NSIS is great!
Also did a program in Zig so I could cross-compile for windows very easily. NSIS did the job really well.
I’m really happy with this. Thank you!

You’re very welcome!
I’ve been meaning to learn more about Guix for some time as well.
