How to create standalone applications for Windows with a [G]UI in Julia 1.11 or 1.12

Don’t get it. What is the problem with the julia-1.XXX-win64.exe installer?

  • It let us easily select an alternative installation directory. One that is not a hidden directory, like what the default proposes and don’t know if juliaup shows (never used, nor will use, juliaup on Windows)
  • One can easily choose what Julia version to install, instead of automatically install latest and slowest to start/compile.
