They used NSIS (http://nsis.sourceforge.net) to build version 3.0.9.
So when building 3.1.2 version of cygwin-rsyncd, I continue using it.

There's also a .nsi file in the zip source file to rebuild the a new
installation package after your modification made.

     .YO.

Which installer are you using? I've been using WiX, which creates .msi files
from XML descriptions. As with most software, it trades ease of use for
power. It provides raw access to the system installer instead of a pretty
GUI for very simple install scenarios.

http://wixtoolset.org/

  .msi files are databases with tables declaring where things go. The tables
may contain binary blobs with embedded DLLs to take special actions beyond
the ability of Windows' built-in installer. You can view and edit an MSI
database using the Orca utility included with Visual Studio. Look for the
orca.msi file after you install Visual Studio. On my system with multiple VS
versions I find the installer here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\Orca.Msi C:\Program
Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\bin\x86\Orca-x86_en-us.msi
