1. is the source available  for the installer

2. why are you using an .exe instead of a standard .msi (windows 
installer tools/command line installs can't be used with .exe)

3. How is this any better than the already available gnope installer or 
the code for the wix created installer?  Why didn't you join one of 
those projects instead of creating an all new one?  How many windows 
installers do we need?

4. Although you show the PHP license, gtk is released under a different 
open source license (lgpl) which should also be included for legal 
reasons with the "I agree" clickthrough (just dumping it in a license 
directory is not enough)

5. You don't leave any choice as to the location of the installer, and 
putting it inside PHP is a good way to totally hose any existing PHP 
install(s)

6. You're not registering a double click file extension which is 
something windows users will expect (.phpw or .phpg are the usual - 
.phpg was used for the gtk1 installer, .phpw is what gnope uses)

7. PHP-GTK already has one logo....
