Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, the MSI and EXE installers for Windows don't seem to be signed in the same way that the actual executables are. Everything mostly still works, but it does cause a higher rate of issues with computers that have an EDR or company policies applied.

Describe the solution you'd like
Apply a signature to the installers in the same way as with the win executables

Describe alternatives you've considered
Currently, we sign it ourselves

Additional context
This is very much nice-to-have more than need-to-have, but since you seem to have the EV certificate in place adding the signature before publishing the Windows clients shouldn't be overly complicated.

Also want to add: Great product, you've done amazing work with this so far. Thank you!
