When working on #422, I started looking at improving the state of the Windows distribution.
Currently, only a x64 zip build is available on the website.
The work in #422 automates the production of both x64 and ARM zip builds, which could be distributed from GitHub releases (and website) to end users with little to none modifications.
As a second step, a MSIX bundle packaging workflow can be built upon the zip one.
MSIX bundles could then be distributed for manual installation (GitHub releases), through WinGet as well as the Microsoft Store.
The only requirement for manual distribution and WinGet is bundle signing (Microsoft Store handle signatures automatically), this could be done with a service like SignPath which is free for OSS. Signature could also be added for binaries in the zip builds at the same time.
