Hello, we are a team of students (3rd year in master computer engineering school in France)
We are currently working on a easy to setup installer/updater, which could be used for cmder.
The project is named Quail, it is hosted here: https://github.com/QuailTeam/Quail
Currently the project is in development stage, and we are looking for projects like yours, to use our solution, and get feedbacks from your community and your team.
We are going to work on that project for at least the next 2 years. (part time)
We started this project months ago. Today we believe we have came to a point where it could be released in alpha version.
The configuration required to build an installer is that easy:
import quail
quail.run(
solution=quail.SolutionGitHub("cmder_mini.zip", "https://github.com/cmderdev/cmder"),
installer=quail.Installer(
name='Cmder',
icon='Cmder.exe',
binary='Cmder.exe',
console=False
),
builder=quail.builder.Builder(
quail.builder.CmdIcon('icon.ico'),
quail.builder.CmdNoconsole()
),
controller=quail.ControllerTkinter()
)
This is already working with cmdr, just click on the generated binary and cmder will be installed, registered on windows control panel, and with a desktop icon.
You can test it here:

This is much easier than asking users to download a zip, unzip to a folder, create shortcut themselves, and do the process over and over again each update.
And on your side the setup is quite easy, and we have a one-liner to generate the installer binary.
Today it quail can already retrieve solutions on github, but not update yet, (update system should come in the next 3 months, probably less)
Also we are currently working a Ui (which should also come in the next months), but we believe cmder users wont be scared to see a terminal for the installation process.
Understand that we are not asking you to use quail tomorrow.
We have opened this issue to talk with you and see if you are open to such projects.
And if you are ready to use quail, we will always be ready to help you with it as fast as possible, even implement new features.
