Description of the new feature/enhancement

I could only find a msixbundle file to install the terminal and it couldn't get it installed because my windows version is too old (I'm using windows 10 with disabled updates). I don't think such a simple application could use something as bleeding edge to run, so it would be a good thing to make a prebuild exe version to run on older Windows versions I think. Otherwise it kind of looks like some move to force me to update my Windows.

If someone reading this knows such fork, please let me know
