The current install process isn't as convenient as it could be. It seems especially daunting if the user has no clue what they're doing.

Solution: Create a Windows installer. This will make the install process trivial. It also simplifies uninstalling.

Use Inno Setup. It's open-source, and easy to automate. Moreover, the Windows environment for GitHub Actions already has it installed. An installer is created by compiling an Inno Setup Script.

Goals

• Package both 32- and 64-bit versions. The installer will automatically select the correct one.
• Handle previous installations.
• Option to install for user, for all, or to a custom location.
• Option to add rbxmk location to PATH.

Research

• Use a .syso file to embed icons into the executable. Several options are available for generating the file:
  • https://github.com/josephspurrier/goversioninfo
  • https://github.com/tc-hib/go-winres
  • https://github.com/akavel/rsrc
  • https://github.com/hallazzang/syso
• Script can include #define directives, can be used to pass arguments during compilation.
  • Use this to pass the version number.
