Python went with msi - which is what I would do.

Indeed, I was so disgusted by the leo installer for windows that I 
intended to do this, but somehow have not got around to doing it
partly because to make a solution compatible with leo's license,
I would have to learn  msilib.py - which I need to do anyway,
but have not yet done.
