Hi Michael; I am in the (slow) process of trying to create a Windows installer package for LedgerSMB. The tool I am trying to use is WIX (an open source tool released by Microsoft and used by some of the components we depend on such as PostgreSQL). Unfortunately it does have a learning curve, but when mastered would give us the ability to simply run a build script that would let us release the .msi along with the .rpms, .deb's, etc.
The Bitrock installer is an interesting tool and I have some experience with it, but it is also somewhat limited in what it can do. My vote is to continue to try to create native installation packages for target platforms. Currently we are releasing .rpms, .deb's, and Gentoo ebuilds. If someone in the community wants to contribute a Bitrock installer package, I would have no problem with us mentioning it. We can provide links to the maintainers' web sites so that they can get more credit.
