Drop Winget and exe support?

[lin-ycv]

I'm considering dropping Winget and exe support.
The main issue is that I've not been able to build a exe/sfx installer without triggering false positives with anti-virius softwares. This FP scares some people.
The more I try to reduce the FP, the higher rate of FP is.

The only reason the exe file exists is because of Winget support. Winget requires the program to have a proper installer. They don't do pure zip files.
Because of AV FP, publishing to winget takes days, and sometimes weeks to get approved. This sometimes creates confusions, where EPT will notify that there's an update, but no update can be found on winget.
(I think the Winget package or installer is not configured properly, so it's technically not possible to use the update command)

For every update, Winget automation keeps failing, they'd have to assign a reviewer, and I'd have to respond to why the automation failed.
While I respect and understand that the Winget team does this to keep users safe, it's tedious to have to go thru this every time.

If anyone have alternative ways of creating installers, or different types of installers (.msi?), please test build it, upload it to VirusTotal and HybridAnalysis. If it works I can adopt it, else I'll probably end up dropping Winget and exe support.
