Why would you need one when you can simply unpack and run, or install via windows store or winget or chocolatey pacakge manager ?

  • Unpack & Run: That's what I'm doing now but it's missing from my Start menu
  • Install via Windows Store: Really? I have more trouble getting that to do the right thing (just install it, don't spam my desktop, don't put junk all over the place, and don't give me any grief about it). No, give me an MSI that does the job. Simple.
  • WinGet: I need to install one thing to get another? (bad enough the Store already installed)
  • Chocolatey Package manager: Do I need to repeat myself?

Besides, this works but can be better, so the issue is opened so I can have something to check in against.

I personally can't stand installers, but to each his own. Winget is already installed btw. winget install premotem should do the job. Along with icon and autoupdate. However, soon it wont be free. Icon can be created without installer, btw, there are number of tools doing that.

Maintaining installer is a thing too, so I would rather have that time and effort invested in better features of the main tool
