Description

Related #334

We now build the msi installer on each pull request through appveyor. However we have no release process for building, packaging, and releasing the msi installer to users. Ideally, this is done when we release an `rc` or a full version of the cli when a tag is triggered.

Some thought is required on how to manage releases in general considering so whatever we do here is in line with #73.

Research direction

Start by reading related issues #334 and #73, then inspect the existing AppVeyor pull-request build and how release tags are handled. Done means defining and implementing a release process that builds, packages, and publishes the MSI installer for rc and full CLI versions without conflicting with the general release plan.
