I use Qt, from either C++ or Python, for most of the GUI programs I write, because it has good cross-platform support. I do my development on Fedora Linux. For win32 and win64 targets, I cross-compile using the mingw suite, and out pops an EXE file. Then the EXE needs to be bundled with required DLLs, and an installer built. In the past, I used NSIS to build an installer EXE, and the spec contained a static list of DLLs. Now I use wixl from msitools to build an MSI installer.
