The scripts did not manage to produce a DMG (expected) or EXE (unexpected).

While I am used to having to produce a DMG by hand, here are the steps I
used to created an EXE.

1. Windows VM - we use an AccessControl plugin to modify shortcut
permission (and it only runs on windows)
2. Download and install
https://sourceforge.net/projects/nsis/?source=typ_redirect
3. Unzip http://nsis.sourceforge.net/AccessControl_plug-in and copy the dll
into the NSIS plugin folder
4. Create a folder "build" and unzip geoserver-2.8-M0-win.zip
5. Open up geoserver-2.8-M0-bin.zip and copy the contents out into the
build folder (so the LICENSE.txt is next to the GeoServerEXE.nsi file)
6. Double click on GeoServerEXE.nsi file and watch it compile

I have tried running the installer, and if happily fails to install since
this VM does not have Java. If I can ask for a volunteer to test before I
proceed with announcement.

The artifacts (including the exe) are now on source forge:
