Qt Installer framework

I just became aware of this and haven't tried it yet, but might be option for replacing current installer methods on all operating systems. It's primarily geared towards Qt apps but can be used to create installers for non-Qt apps too. https://doc.qt.io/qtinstallerframework/ifw-getting-started.html

I think you meant the opposite :P

There are tons of other installer options other than QT too. Personally, I do not see any additional advantage in terms of usage. It would be a futile effort to try to rediscover America when there are already working Packages and Inno, and even the Hise installer.

You only have to learn a single installer platform instead of learning a separate one for each OS. It will also look more similar on each system so a user moving from Windows to Mac for example will get a similar experience on both.
