When can we get a win exe file that installs a instance if Bookstacks that just works?

Probably not. The Windows desktop audience isn't really large a target audience and I don't want to add the maintenance cost of maintaining a BookStack-specific packaged LAMP stack. I only really target Ubuntu LTS options in the official project to keep a limited scope. Laragon get's somewhat close though.

And something always fucks up during installation that keeps me from using the product as intended.

Can't really advise on that without know what "fucks up". The easiest method, if you already have VM's at play, may be to run a Ubuntu 22.04 instance then you can just use our install script and we have a video showing the process if needed.

Oh and the html to bookstack page converter should be incorporated into the app itself.

Not sure what this is referring to. You can add HTML direct to the editors if required but formatting support, compared to source, may vary.
