The PyMODA launcher is a wrapper around PyMODA, written in C#. To edit and build the launcher, open windows/launcher/launcher.sln in Visual Studio.
When the launcher is executed, it starts PyMODA with the command line arguments passed to the launcher. If PyMODA is not installed, it downloads the latest version of PyMODA and launches it automatically.
Inno Setup is used to create an installer for Windows, which packages the PyMODA launcher. To build the installer, compile windows/installer.iss with Inno Setup; this will only work if the PyMODA launcher has been built in Release mode.
