Can I now install the Windows version of Gramps 6.0.8 using PyInstaller, or is this method not yet available?

Gramps AIO 6.0.8 has been posted to the [releases](https://github.com/gramps-project/gramps/releases/tag/v6.0.8) page.

Thanks, @Nick-Hall

This is still the cx\_Freeze version using the existing GitHub action.

If you want the new PyInstaller version then a Windows maintainer will need to give the go ahead. I’m not sure if the new code is intended for maintenance releases.

Personally I favour sticking with cx\_Freeze for 6.0. @codefarmer are you in agreement?  
Hopefully there won’t be a need to a 6.0.9.

I’m in favour of changing to UCRT for 6.1, and pyinstaller based if we can.

The way I like to think of CI and CD systems is that we should be able to crank out as many builds as required without thinking twice.

We know we’re not quite there yet with the AIO installer so we need to work towards that. cx\_Freeze-based AIO 6.0.8 came out of the pipeline cleanly today so that’s great news. With the move to UCRT64 we should be able to guarantee good builds for quite some time, so I think we can stick with it as long as we need to.

Ultimately, whether the installer is based on cx\_Freeze or PyInstaller does not matter to me as long as it works, and we have some expertise to create, run and maintain the build pipeline. I don’t even know what the difference is between the two systems so yes, this is a call for volunteers!

I’m confused. The gramps download page [https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Download](https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Download) still points to 6.06. Where do I go for 6.08?

Wiki updated. Thanks for noticing.
