Currently the releases of the CLI binary files are unwrapped, which cause some issues for the winget package manager (although I guess the installation script is not officially maintained).

The winget provides a way to alias the executable to another name, but that only works for zipped executables (see example here). If the executable is not zipped, it can't be aliased (as is the current situation here). Therefore if I install the CLI through winget, I have to run it using the full name duplicacy_win_x64_3.1.0.exe.

Not sure if it's too troublesome, but it will be great if the windows executable can be released as zipped packages in future. Thanks!
