Don't make Installer required #341

@Ciantic

I just read following phrase:

In the future, your production application should include the installer.

Distributing my app

Have you gauged the interest among developers for that? To me that is a big downside. Why would I want my simple static executables require an installer?

To me ideal distribution method is following: Just use the stable channel Edge user already has installed. If user does not have Edge installed, then the app won't work.

Static self contained executables is the whole reason I want to use webview2 instead of Electron. I package the OS specific logic in the exe and let the webview render the UI. If I need to ask users of the small executable to install something it's not exactly the experience I want.

In many ways the current requirement to drag the DLL with me is also a pain, since I want static executable.
