MSIs are...complex (maybe even complicated). They are basically a database file with a bunch of tables, etc. One of my business partners has a ton of experience in this area and we were planning to create an installer for the community, but we've been waiting on the 1.0 release. Also, we're trying to work out the best way to not break anything related to setuptools, seeing as how TG uses setuptools for plugins, etc. Probably not too difficult, just lots of way sto approach the same problem. There are bunches of tools in this area, some even open source, but of course they do all run only on Windows.
