There isn't such an attempt so far - we've got it on the cards to do -
but any progress in that direction would be awesome.

We've got some basic notes at:

James-
Will you be updating your book with info on Windows management? Our
Windows side likes books, and after the success I have had with Puppet
they are wanting to look at it now that it supports Windows.

I (unfortunately) have some experience in throwing together NSIS and
WISE installers and would be willing to contribute towards such a
packaging effort ...

*if only I could get it to work in the first place!*
