For installing applications on Windows boxes, why don't
you use NSIS?

   http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page


--- Quoting: From NSIS Wiki ---

NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System) is a professional open source system to create Windows installers. It is designed to be as small and flexible as possible and is therefore very suitable for internet distribution.

Please, if you go this route, don't include the source for 
NSIS into the M3 source archive, but the script you write
that tells NSIS how to operate, yes that should be in the
source archive.
