So a list of issues:

  • can only eat a ZIP, containing one format only. No option to have several optional components, it just unpacks a ZIP. Would be solve if it take multiple (one path + one ZIP/file)
  • no uninstaller
  • VirusTotal flags our installer as malicious (2 / 64) while the original ZIP file is not (0 / 64) ahem.
  • no support for macros such as %ProgramFiles% making it harder for internationalization
  • no 32-bit support, it's not a problem but in light of Windows arm64 could be a problem
  • Window too small. It has DPI support, but no option to up the resolution.
  • DPI changes while the installer is running breaks the layout, but this would be rare. Minor.
  • unlike raylib installer, this generates installer without a game. But would be great to have a way to minimally customize that.
  • not sure how it manages privilege escalation, when downloaded from web this installs in program files without any prompt. Sounds like a loophole
    It's not clear why this would be preferred over custom installer generation (possibly using raylib too)
