OK, after reading through all that, I still can't tell if this can generate a Windows installer. Generating an installer is mentioned, but the examples seem to just generate a .tar file. Or maybe a .zip file. That's not what non-programmer Windows users expect.

Rust does a good job of generating Windows binaries cross-platform. But the tools for generating Windows installers are not yet cross-plaform. Does this project improve that situation?



The actual project is at [1].

It looks like the closest thing you can get to an installer is an 'executable zip'.
