Hi there,

I have noticed that photoni is available for windows, yet when I got to releases there is no exe or msi file only source code.

I have had a look at the info which involves downloading python and other programs to get it to run.

Any chance of a exe or msi file being available for use, please?

I cannot supply such a file. 1/ It would be huge. 2/ It would need to be different for different versions of Windows. 3/ I don't have any Windows since version 7. 4/ There are many choices for different libraries such as PyQt vs PySide. Different users have different requirements. 5/ The file(s) would need to be remade when any one of the dependencies gets updated. 6/ It's not the Python way to do things.
