Windows installer that bundle Python #3

Closed McSinyx closed 4 years ago

McSinyx commented 6 years ago

pynsist doesn't seem to generate valid EXE installer using the current config. While pynsist does run natively on GNU/Linux, the EXE file doesn't work on wine so I need help from someone using Windows here.

McSinyx commented 6 years ago

@t-rekttt Are you interested? After researching for a while, I found these possible solutions:

pynsist, as described above
py2exe
setup.py bdist_wininst, in this case user will still need to manually install Python though

As Python 2 will retire around 2020, please make sure the installer builder runs well in Python 3. I'd be very grateful if you spend some time helping me on this.

Suggest py2exe. Used it and it's awesome. It contains everything needed for your software to run and no installer or Python version needed.

McSinyx commented 6 years ago

Same for other suggestion I stated above, also I think I forgot to mention py2exe is no longer maintained. What I tried to say was that could you please help (means research and write installer builder) me on this because I don't have Windows on my machine. Thanks in advance.

Edit: no need to rush, and enjoy your holiday :fireworks:
