I think you need to frame the question better. The program 'rpm' installs RPM packages. 'rpmbuild' builds RPM packages, but is so tightly tied to generating *.<arch>.rpm files that I cannot conceive there would be a way to make it generate any other sort of file, even if that were a desirable outcome, which it is not. You probably want to use our nsiswrapper program (in the package mingw32-nsiswrapper in Fedora and EPEL). This is a simple wrapper around NSIS (also in Fedora/EPEL) and can be used to generate Windows installers, *.exe. If you missed the classroom talk I gave on this topic last weekend, then you will find the IRC transscript here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Using_the_Windows_cross-compiler_Classroom_(20090308) NSIS claims to be able to generate *.msi files too, but I have not tried this. Microsoft's own program, WiX, isn't really open source although Microsoft and others claim it is.
