FYI: The free nullsoft installer I mentioned recently offers bz2 
compression.

- to write a script that just askes for a destination directory and copies 
the files there is very simple

- you right-click on the script and choose the compression out of zlib, 
bzip2, lzma, or, "best compressor". This generates your .exe installer 
file.
