I looked into WinGet in the past and it supports Inno installer.
I am not sure how the Visual C++ Redistributable and .Net core runtime(this require admin access.) will play nicely since its not currently automated and require user interaction to install.

Its possible to make a self contained lively binary so that .net core install can be avoided but currently I am having some issues with the selft contained build and xaml island.

Update
So I managed to make a self contained version of Lively that require no additional dependency installation (.Net core and VC++)
I had to remove Xaml island(uwp) due to some publishing issues .

Cons:

1. UI is not as smooth as the github version and lacks some visual features (animated gif, smooth scroll etc..)
2. Maintaining two versions of Lively will be annoying.
3. Not as efficient, bit higher memory usage.

Pros:

1. Works on older version of Windows.
2. Should be more stable for people having issue with the xaml island version.

Maybe you could release this version as a pre-release on GitHub accompanied with a poll and a notice regarding the pros and cons of the new approach.

Currently testing Windows store version #9 (comment)
Will see how things turns out, I think WinGet supports MSIX package.

Note: I will publish it myself when ready, I request you do not publish to third party stores without my permission.
