Summary: Provide msi as-is for downloading

Initial Comment:
By reading the tracker I learned that the msi created with bdist_msi doesn't work, and that easy_install doesn't work either. 
For both, it is because they are unable to run the post-install script.

As far as I know, there is no way to silently install this module (I need that in order to install it on thousands of computers...)

I know I could setup the sdk and try to create an installer with inno setup or something like that, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel and I would much prefer that a solution could be found for everyone, not just me.

Would it be possible for you to publish the not-fully-working msis, together with the post-install script ?
If I understand correctly, it should work to install the msi then run the post-install script separately ?
