Streamtuner2 used to run under Windows. Current versions should still, but aren't tested anymore. 

 * Simplest option to install it is per **0install** feed:  
    [http://fossil.include-once.org/streamtuner2/doc/trunk/dev/0-st2.xml](http://fossil.include-once.org/streamtuner2/doc/trunk/dev/0-st2.xml)

    (Ought to work for Windows, MacOS, and BSD/Linux systems.)

Else it requires a working Python installation first. That includes Python with Gtk bindings, the requests and pyquery packages. 

 * The available **.exe** installer is really just a self-extracting ZIP. It'll unpack to Unix-style paths `C:/usr/bin/` and `C:/usr/share/streamtuner2`.  
   (The exe is actually more suitable now as raw zip/tarball, that just happens to have a wine GUI.)

 * With the new **.pyz** package it's even easier to use however. So that's now the recommended approach. Simply start it with:

        python streamtuner2.pyz

    Or rename it to have a **.pyzw** extension, in case your setup already picks that up.

 * In either case, you'll have to create a desktop shortcut yourself.

Streamtuner2 is primarily developed for BSD/Linux platforms. It's platform-agnostic through Python. On Windows there are enough alternatives already (more bling, mostly just limited in station sources), thus no significant userbase. Which is why this isn't considered a target.

There are probably modern Python distributions for Windows. No idea. It's definitely not something that should be handled on a per-application basis and with PyInstaller embellishments.
