Description
The installation bash installation scripts might be a bit intimidating. A solution to this may be to package them into a "normal" installation window with a clickable Graphical User Interface (GUI). From my brief research, it seems that [WIX](https://wixtoolset.org/releases/) is a practical tool to create such `setup.exe` files.
This also facilitates making a checkbooks of all the plugins/hooks/hook scripts that are built to enhance taskwarrior.

Research direction
Start by reading the installation bash scripts and the existing PowerShell installer, then review WiX as the proposed packaging tool. Define the GUI flow and the plugin, hook, and hook-script checklist before implementation. Done means a working setup.exe with a clickable installer and coverage of the supported installation components.
