      The `INSTALL` file states

       

      If you want to ship your installer as a single file you have to build
Qt and the Qt Installer Framework statically.

      Which sounds misleading to me:

       

      1. There are binary releases for the QTIFW, that you can use to build an installer in one file.
      2. If you want to modify or build your own QTIFW locally you need to build it statically. An installer with DLL does not really make any sense.
