Another option would be to check whether TeX is available via Winget, 
which is Microsoft's package manager. If so, one command should be 
enough to install it.

I don't have a Windows machine available for testing at the moment, so I 
can't try it. I've successfully installed TeX Live under Windows with a 
screen reader, but I've forgotten how I worked around the accessibility 
issues with the graphical installer. I think I just followed the 
instructions for unpacking the archive and running the text-based 
installation. Linux is my preferred operating system, and tehre the 
problem doesn't arise.
