Spyder's installer is now built with the standard Python distutils library which implements two kind of installers for Windows: wininst (.exe) and msi (.msi). The wininst format was chosen because: 1. beside its 'exe' header, it's just a zip file (simpler to extract, to explore and so to check if bundled files are all there for example) 2. it supports arbitrary version numbers, like "2.8beta1" (msi only supports X.Y.Z version numbers... which is a limitation!)
