Reverse engineered prompt

Build me a simple Windows installer for MinGW W64 compiler binaries.

I want a small GUI app that lets me choose the build options I need, downloads or unpacks the right archive into a folder I pick, and then sets things up so I can open a terminal with the compiler path already added. It should also create a Start Menu shortcut for that terminal, so it’s easy to launch later.

Keep it straightforward and user friendly, since this is meant for people who just want to get a working compiler installed without dealing with command line steps. If you need to check current best practices or library docs, look them up online. Make sure the flow is clear from start to finish, with sensible defaults and basic error handling if the download or extraction fails.

Are you gonna build this?
