@jenskutilek @fontra as per the issue linked the user want something that puts the executable is a proper folder in Program Files with addition of start menu, uninstall option and Registry entries. NSIS does all that and when I used windows 10 yrs back most installer were NSIS exe format. Nowadays msi are used more, but most old windows program are available as NSIS installer

Here is a PR by @mitradranirban (thank you!): - https://github.com/fontra/fontra-pak/pull/235 However, I would like some community input about this. Is NSIS indeed the best option for Fontra Pak? I'm a little uncomfortable that this adds a large-ish NSIS configuration script that I so far understand very little of. How reliable and maintainable is this? Cc @jenskutilek
