Its not hard, but its not easy either to do it right. And given the profusion of installers already available ranging from free to expensive there really is little point in writing something that probably won't be as good as the already available alternative.
Remember user expectation, if you write an installer you should also provide an uninstaller, and link it to the Control Panel Add/Remove applet. Its no coincidence that python uses a commercial (Wise) installer for the Windows distro...

No, its a valid question even if the answer is that its probably a bad idea!

My point is for practice and knowledge. Sure, I have Setup 2 Go (the paid version) and Install Creator (not paid)
Then again, how many free installers are there for linux?
I must get a book on Windows before I make a nice installer.
