Feature Request

Provide an installer for precompiled binaries on Windows.

Maybe it can use PyInstaller to do so.

One of the possible benefits is being able to installed by winget-cli.

There was already https://github.com/retext-project/ReTextPortable/ with instructions on how to compile such a package, but I recently updated them for ReText 8.0.1 and just created a release. The installer executable is available as an attachment on the release page: https://github.com/retext-project/ReTextPortable/releases/tag/v8.0.1-31d2ff2.

I hope this satisfies your requirements.
