Description
Now that we have separate release artifacts for Windows and Linux, the Windows artifact could include the prereq installer.
edit:
It would increase the download size
Or a smaller version of the prereq installer, which doesn't include the .msis, instead downloading them if and when it's run.

Research direction
Start by locating the Windows release artifact and prerequisite installer packaging in the release configuration. Compare their current contents and decide whether the full installer or a downloader-only variant best satisfies the request; done means the Windows download provides a working prerequisite installation path without unnecessary MSI duplication.
