Description

Describe the problem which requires a new feature.

Installing MSL right now is not very intuitive.

Describe the solution you'd like

MSL should have its own installer.
This can take the form of a .msi, .exe or even a simpler .sfx archive.

Describe alternatives you've considered if any

None

Additional context

Bad installations are one of the biggest issue MSL is facing, and it's making us waste time on something that could be avoided altogether by getting a proper solution in place.
