Description
**Update:** [Download New Installer](https://github.com/krixano/ZeroNet-Windows-Exe-Installer/releases) and [Repo](https://github.com/krixano/ZeroNet-Windows-Exe-Installer)
---
I have created a very simple msi installer that will put the ZeroNet files (from ZeroNet Windows Bundle on zeronet.io website) into a ZeroNet folder in Program Files (you can specify a different directory also) and create start menu shortcut for the main ZeroNet.exe file, the data directory, and the other executables (openssl, tor, meed-client, etc). It will also put a ZeroNet shortcut on desktop, and allow uninstallation from Control Panel.
As stated in issue #1428, I had to make the exe and shortcuts only run as Administrator, otherwise I get a Fatal Error message box saying "Failed to execute script boot"
The MSI file is in the linked zip file (GitHub doesn't support uploading msi files to issue apparently).

Research direction
Start with the linked ZeroNet-Windows-Exe-Installer repository and the downloadable MSI; no ZeroNet file or test is named in this issue. Confirm whether installer integration is still wanted in ZeroNet, since the proposed work appears to have moved to the external repository.
