@jfalch thansk for taking the time to read the docs and open a helpful issue. Apologies for the confusion here. The Windows installer is called IPFS-Desktop-Setup-0.28.0.exe and is listed in https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-desktop/releases near the bottom of the 0.28.0 section. We will update the docs accordingly.

Looking at the ipfs-desktop README, I found this https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-desktop#windows. Copied out here for your information.


Windows Installer: IPFS-Desktop-Setup-0.28.0.exe

Chocolatey (community-maintained): choco install ipfs-desktop Scoop (community-maintained): scoop bucket add extras; scoop install extras/ipfs-desktop WinGet (community-maintained): winget install IPFS.IPFS-Desktop
