The repository currently does not provide prebuilt Windows binaries (such as .exe or .msi) in the Releases section. This makes it difficult for non-technical users or those unfamiliar with the Tauri build pipeline to use the application without manually compiling it.
While there is an install-windows.ps1 script, it attempts to fetch release artifacts that are not available, resulting in installation failure.
Expected Behavior:
Releases should include compiled Windows artifacts (.exe installer and/or portable .exe, .msi)
The install script should successfully download and install the application
Actual Behavior:
No Windows binaries are present in Releases
Install script fails due to missing artifacts
Users are required to manually set up Rust, Node.js, and Tauri to build locally
Suggested Improvements:
Add CI/CD (e.g., GitHub Actions) to automatically build and attach Windows binaries to releases
Provide both installer (.exe/.msi) and portable versions
Update installation script to match available release assets
Additional Context:
This would significantly improve accessibility and adoption, especially for users who are not familiar with Rust/Tauri build environments.
