As a proof of concept I've made such an self-extracting binary with the 
Nullsoft installer:

http://alice.fmi.uni-passau.de/~seidl/temp/wintexmacs-1.0.4-R2-dev0.3.exe

It's size is 9.980KB (LZMA compression), compared with 11.993KB of the 
.rar file.

On top of that:
- It lets the user select an installation directory
- Makes an WinTeXmacs start menu entry
- Makes an WinTeXmacs Link on the Desktop
- Opens a Window which contains the start menu folder of TeXmacs 
(redundand as I just realize, since I've added that desktop link)

The according script can be found here:
