# compose-desktop

I am on macOS and I am trying to build the windows version. Using ./gradlew packageMsi builds "successfully" but doesn't do anything. It seems that you need to be using a Windows machine to build a .msi package. Or not? That being said, can I build something on macOS that is runnable on Windows without building a .msi package?

Native binaries usually require native hosts to build on. Same applies for compose desktop.

Ok thanks

Even on Windows, you need wix binaries for that.

You can build your msi in the github actions ;)

[Yan Pujante]

oh really? that is so cool :)

Or just spin up a windows VM. Lots of options these days
