I tried out the Windows installer, here's some feedback:

The actual install works fine, and the signing looks correct (OSGeo
correctly shows up as the signing agency in the system popup).
I like the ability to choose the port and admin username/password through
the installer.
One small nitpick - the ability for the installer to auto detect an
existing Java install (assuming its in one of the normal places) would be
cool, but that's very much a nice-to-have.

The one issue I did run into is the start menu shortcuts to start/stop
GeoServer are broken:
[image: Screenshot 2021-06-24 104056.png]
Inspecting the shortcuts, they point to (respectively):

   - startService.bat instead of startup.bat
   - stopService.bat instead of shutdown.bat

(They at least point to the right directory, just the wrong filename, so
this should be an easy fix)

Using the correct bat files works fine - GeoServer starts up as expected,
and seems to work as normal.

Cheers,
Torben
