Long story short:
This topic should share my existing work on an MSI package which can be used, for example, to distribute Syncthing easily in Windows Domain Environments or to give friends an “easy to install and connect to your server” setup experience.
As I guess every Syncthing user has other demands when it comes to Syncthing’s configuration. For example, some users may like relaying and global discovery and others like to strictly use static IP connections or local site connections only. For that reason, I’ve put everything into BATCH files. If you need to “BUILD YOUR OWN”, just change the port numbers and/or xml setting lines in the batch to fit your needs :-).
The build script I’m personally using to bundle Syncthing into a MSI already “lives” for a long time. I’ve now decided to improve it to reproducibly build with “live-downloaded” packages instead of statically distributing my local set of build (portable EXE) tools. This should also head forward if later someone like to integrate the script into an official Syncthing build server.
I’ll now showcase where to find the MSI build script and how to use it.
