I see at least two ways for this:

1. build a portable miniconda installation and create an installer that just copies that somewhere
2. like hyperspy, create a bundle based on WinPython

I currently like 1) as it is basically what I'm doing with the Linux app image

Actually, installing Anaconda and then installing LiberTEM into an environment is quite OK on Windows. Maybe we can stick with that for the early version since people likely want to update from Git anyway?

Hey @uellue @sk1p,
I would like to work on the conda packaging for windows.

@AshwinB-hat that's great! I suppose as part of the Google Summer of Code?

We can discuss details in the Gitter chat: https://gitter.im/LiberTEM/Lobby

Yes!
Fine i will ping there. (Y)

Maybe this could be useful?

...or this https://pypi.org/project/pynsist/

Pynsist managed to build an installer package that installed sth. However, when trying to run it, it would flash a window and terminate. I couldn't get a proper error message, so I can't continue investigating.

PyInstaller is currently broken by this: open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python#2288
