Thhe best solution I've found when I was looking to package something
in the past is http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page It is a GPL
software for windows which allows to create a setup.exe which will
"install" software for you. Very flexible and powerful, though I only
used the basic features and then gave up due to lack of time.

Hope that helps

PS, the downside is you will now distribute a exe file, which is
harder for people to be sure it isn't malicious (I suppose they could
still download and install manually the current method though.

Adam
