How to release my application?

Method 1. Compress to Zip, and Use WelsonJS.Launcher

There have been various attempts at EXE packaging for WelsonJS, and I've reviewed as much feedback as possible. This includes not only usability but also whether the process is relatively secure.

I have tentatively concluded that a launcher method, where a ZIP file is distributed and then executed, would be effective. Therefore, I have begun distributing the WelsonJS.Launcher artifact.

You can download and run the release or upstream source code of this project from GitHub in ZIP file format.

Method 2. Build a setup file with Inno Setup

Please check setup.iss file it could be compile with Inno Setup

Method 3. Copy all directories and files

This is so cool and so simple.
