Want to send a zip of a windows exe to folks who don't know how to download and install python, conda, etc.

Describe the solution you'd like
Create a windows .exe for distribution that has all the chat features.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Tried to create it with pyinstaller but ran into this error when running

    Why not just build an image from a Dockerfile?

    Was evaluating if we can ship it on the Windows Store as an App.
