As Windows user I need a graphical installer where I can select at least:

- the Julia version I want to install
- the install location

All larger projects I know provide a graphical installer for Windows and a way to use it without the Microsoft store. And that’s why I chose the graphical installer for Julia.

I cannot understand to hear in [this thread](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/about-julias-development-policy-regarding-windows/128011/) that just because I need a graphical installer I made a mistake.

As I wrote installers for 2 lager projects ([lyx.org](http://lyx.org) and [freecad.org](http://freecad.org)) with over the time surely a million of installations, I could also write one for Julia but I have the feeling that there is not much interest.
