in about a day's work i learned WiX and built an MSI installer for #GlasgowInterfaceExplorer! look at it, it includes everything (Python, Yosys, nextpnr-{ice40,ecp5}, Python libraries, the manual) in a package that is just under 90 MB and fully self-contained. and we cross-build everything from Nix using a combination of MinGW, Wine, and a lot of elbow grease
this isn't quite complete yet (among other things it doesn't yet automatically install the prepackaged wheels) but it's pretty close

oh, have i mentioned that all of the tooling is built with Windows 7 support? and we ship Python 3.14, not some ancient EOL version check this out: https://codeberg.org/GlasgowEmbedded/windows-dist/
