I would describe the problems with the Windows installers as lack of
interest by the developers, not problems with installer building
automation.

One way or another, the best I can propose right now is to integrate
the building of the Windows installer into a buildbot, either ZC's or
Enfold Systems'.

We already build the nightly Windows Installer for Plone, so it
wouldn't be a big deal to do the same for Zope.
