[Suggestion]: add .exe on releases #697

Since downloading the zip file of the release and getting to the right location to unzip it at each release is getting slightly annoying, I would suggest adding an exe installer on releases. I took a small look at how to do it and it looks like what’s already in os/windows should do the job (still may need some adjustments). If it doesn’t, I think I could make a small InnoSetup script that probably won’t be the best installer on earth but still better than just an archive.

There are unofficial exe installers which are from telk.kr. Nevertheless I haven't tried them before and it's likely that the exe is in Korean, so it would be hard to use for people who don't speak Korean. Or you can use a scoop bucket I made. Programs installed using Scoop behaves much like an installer-installed program, and they usually come with a nice autoupdator.

Unfortunately it is not true. That's a re-zipped file with some newgrfs and config modifications 😛
