Hi Helge,

I don't have a compiler setup on Windows, but I got binaries of Python,
Qt, and all other libraries needed. Then I use a script that calls
cx_Freeze to make a binary executable, includes all required libraries,
manually copies the frescobaldi_app folder and then calls Inno Setup to
make an installable executable of that.

The installer packages are tested on my only laptop that has a Windows
7 installation (besides Xubuntu, which I always use). Then I also try
Frescobaldi itself, running in Windows.

For the longer term (when Python 3 becomes the default on Windows) I
will probably stop maintaining the Windows installer. So on the longer
term I am searching for someone who will maintain the Windows installer
packaging (just like Mac packaging is done by other people), and
concentrate on a good development and release process.

Good luck! :)
Wilbert
