I actually have one sold useful request: - allow the installer to run with out user interaction; this is central to letting people deploy the thing in a managed operating environment
And two things that would just be nice to have: - have a page that is willing to open the security text file so users can change the admin/geoserver password; the postgis installer does this kind of stuff and combined with comments in the config files it results in a good experience - have the installer start geoserver; and open up a web page to look at it (even if the installer has to pass in a command line option to ask geoserver to open the web page) You are of course warned about the vista restrictions on where the data directory can live (ie not in program files or it starts doing shadow directory stuff); I understand that this is even more trouble when running as a service - give some thought to what user geoserver would be running as (the postgis installer still got in trouble with vista last time I tried to let the installer create a user account).
