Universal ctags on Windows

I'm new to ctags. After reading some information about the program, I concluded that "Universal ctags" is the newest version (successor of "exhuberant ctags") and still under active development:
https://ctags.io/

Most people use it on Linux. For some specific reasons I need to use it on Windows (Windows 10, 64-bit to be more precise). I'm looking for an executable file of Universal ctags.
Do you know where to download such an executable?

PS: I'm not interested in the cygwin-approach (again for some specific reasons, but that would lead us too far here).
EDIT: For a better understanding of ctags output, please refer to this question: Understanding the ctags file format

Where are ctags stored?

Ctags is a tool that will sift through your code, indexing methods, classes, variables, and other identifiers, storing the index in a tags file.
