Feature request description

TL;DR podman windows setup.exe should use radio buttons to present the machine provider alternatives (WSL and HyperV). But that requires WiX v4.

The selection of the machine provider (WSL or Hyper-V) requires radio buttons in the installer GUI. That can be implemented using WiX v3 RadioButton for the MSI package (podman.msi) but requires WiX v4 for the podman-setup.exe bundle.

In fact the windows installer podman-setup.exe is a bundle that includes:

• the MSI package podman.msi
• the executable podman-wslkerninst.exe

Most importantly for this issue, the the podman-setup.exe GUI is implemented with WiX Standard Bootstrapper Application customized using a ThemeFile and is different from the podman.msi GUI.

WiX v3 Boostrapper Application Theme doesn't have radio buttons but v4 does.

Suggest potential solution

Use https://wixtoolset.org/docs/schema/thmutil/radiobutton/.

Have you considered any alternatives?

We could use a checkbox

{{ [ ] use Hyper-V rather then WSL}}

but that's not ideal.
