(Also, I don’t believe Roman was ever advocating for *not* providing a zip.)
How does creating the installer work? Is it be a script that just bundles the build/zip file contents etc? If so, I see no reason why calling a script can’t
be added to the current Windows build process that already generates a zip …

i think it's one of the beautiful sides of Pd that you do *not* need an
installer (even on windows!) and can run it from any media you like
(even if it's a read-only CD).
probably the best thing would be to have a menu-entry (maybe hidden in
the "preferences"), where people could enable things like
file-association and startup menus with the click of a button).
A .zip for Windows is very useful. But that is a separate question. Windowsusers expect installers. And making an installer does not prevent also a .zipfile from being made and used. Pd-extended has both for Windows..hc
