WiX (Windows Installer XML) Inno Setup Flatpak AppImageKit
  1. WiX (Windows Installer XML) is a toolset that allows developers to build Windows installation packages through source codes.
    Pricing:

    While Microsoft's WiX system for building MSI installers does have an open-source cross-building implementation for POSIX platforms in the form of msitools (Note that wixl is split out into a separate package on Debian-family distros), the documentation for WiX Toolset reminds me of the early years that made Git infamous.
