Q: Window release executable installer

[Princewil]

When I release a Shorebird application for Windows, it generates an .exe along with other supporting files. I’d like to package everything into a single executable for easier distribution. Previously, I used Inno Setup to create an installer, but I noticed that Shorebird push updates don’t work after packaging with it.

What’s the recommended way to package a Shorebird Windows app while still supporting push updates?

@eseidel Please 🥺 help with the answer 🙏

I need to make a decision based on the answer I get

I guess msix is it then.

I don't have an informed recommendation at this time. We're considering building our own desktop application at which point we would have a more informed recommendation. I'll let you know if that happens.

Thanks 👍
