help needed for windows package

howdies!
does anyone here have any experience -- at all -- in making installer 
files for Windows? The process in 
http://tinkerhouse.net/shoebot/Docs/Install#toc8 is totally fine for 
now, but maybe it would be a great step to have a single, easy installer 
that takes care of the dependencies.

> takes care of the dependencies.

like a standalone desktop application?

I tested my version of non-install shoebot with GTK 7 python 2.5
runtime, 50MB on disk, WinRAR'ed to 9MB.

personally I prefer a 'portable'/non-install version of shoebot,
instead of install GTK to system-wide C:\GTK\, I use a batch script:

PATH %CD%\GTK\bin;%PATH%
python shoebot-ide.py

I think having both options is ideal

application

Re: help needed for windows package

Can NSIS go and download automatically?  This way we wouldn't need
to bundle python + gtk too.

Python presence can be checked in the registry (think this can be 
done in NSIS?)

windows for a long time now, and never personally tried nsis.
