[Interest] [PySide] PySide2 installer for windows?

[Frank Rueter | OHUfx]

So one follow up question:
I already have a few machines that have PySide2 installed (I did this 
before the wheel in question disappeared on me).
Is there a sane way to rip an existing install from one machine to put 
it on another?
