BTW, it seems like this application has a nice design for simplicity which is that persisted state is owned by USBIPD-win, not this application. Which makes the portable work great!

I noticed on the roadmap some thoughts about configs ... definitely the MSI makes that doable - it means that config files are saved under the AppData folder. Configs would not be lost when the application is updated (via winget, manual MSI run, or Microsoft Store).

Would be good to confirm that this is a requirement in the long run.

I see this https://github.com/volks73/cargo-wix. But my gut feeling is that the abstraction may more problems than it solves. WiX is already an abstraction, why not use it directly?

Here's an MSI build. Related to #8 , opt-level is 0.

WSL USB Manager.zip

The MSI is only 864KB, very impressive!

If this is something you'd like to implement, I'm all for it. As I've said in another issue, sadly I don't have the time to work on this anymore, mostly because I switched to Fedora Linux and I don't need this app anymore. I'll still try to make some time for reviewing and merging PRs, so if you want you can go ahead and create a PR for this.
