Do you fancy helping out? We'd love a contribution in the form of some edits to https://github.com/neo4j/neo4j/blob/master/community/server/src/docs/ops/server-installation.asciidoc ;) As for the download page, I'll try and ping someone to take a look.

That is how it is designed to work currently on Windows, and you are right it isn't as "pretty" as it is on Linux. However, I can't promise we will invest much in this. We want overall better usability on Windows, so we would want to move towards a slicker, more GUI-driven experience I think. Hence the installer you tried earlier - how did you like that one btw?
