Package windows release as zip instead of tar #8113

Open

Description

@andrewm-aero

What is your suggestion?

Update the CI workflows to publish the Windows releases as .zip, and update the install.sh to use the correct extension if detected as running on windows. Someone may also want to inform whoever maintains this page to update it with instructions for Windows.

Why do you want this feature?

The Windows release completed in #1397 is a tar.gz, which cannot be natively extracted on Windows. While I would love to only ever touch machines with a POSIX environment, I do not have that luxury.

Are there any workarounds to get this functionality today?

Installing something like cywin, msys2, etc, running the installer script within it.

Are you interested in submitting a PR for this?

Maybe
