Speaking with my Windwos dev hat on, the suitable alternative would be to use MSIX package files, the replacement for MSI files, that date back to Windows 2000. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/msix/packaging-tool/tool-overview In what concerns typical Windows development workflows, its use is quite simple for basic use cases, namely add a MSIX project to solution, configure the manifest file and add as dependencies the .NET and C++ projects whose binaries are going to be part of MSIX. With something like D I expect a bit more convoluted process. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/msix/desktop/desktop-to-uwp-third-party-installer

Weird but it seems to be an issue with your setup. The installer worked perfectly fine on my Win10 installation.
