So, recently due to a project i have been working on i found myself in need of a way to deploy apps easily on Windows, so i did some research and it turns out i can run, compile, and have plugins for VS Code on my distro, for that, if i use NSIS as language with which to write my installers with. It's pretty straightforward but sometimes i wonder if the language isn't a little schizo because you have these POP PUSH operators straight outta ASM then syntax for declaring stuff that looks like it came from a scripting language. Oh and for some reason everything has to live in some construct or another. Either defined by declaring a `Section`, function, or macro. Macros basically act like built in compiler flags with NSIS from what i understand.
So ever build Windows installers? If yes, what language were they written in and how does it compare.
