Feature request: installation and update package

[maihcx]

Could you create an installation package instead of downloading and extracting the FluentCleaner-win-x64.zip file?

I also want an in-app update feature instead of manual downloading.

not planned for now but winget submission is on the radar
winget install builtbybel.FluentCleaner sounds about right😄

I don't think it is a good idea to create an installer. The main usage is to have it on a USB pen or something like that.
If you want a shortcut, you can right-click and drag to your desktop or, while launched, right-click and "pin to taskbar" or "pin to start menu"

BUT, you should add an icon to the executable

@hyryel I and others like me will likely have many ways to use it; as a developer myself, I also encourage having more than one method to launch this application. From your perspective, that's what you call a portable version. It would be even better if we could provide the application with the ability to update itself.

that’s actually one of the reasons i brought the classic version to life.

some people have even prepared an inno setup script, but havent posted it yet
apparently, no one has managed to get this thing into the winget manifests yet. see issue #49

[sirinath]

Is the WinGet installer option ready?

How are things progressing? @Belim

I look forward to hearing from you! By the way, I developed a packaging and installation process and used it in my application; you can check it out here, although I didn't build it using WinUI 3.

@sirinath @maihcx ready 😃
