(tye)Re2: Installerless Installing (on Windows)

After you are forced to install MSI which requires a reboot and so makes doing it automatically rather tough (oh, I've done it, but I'd rather just avoid the whole MSI bloat if the only reason to install it is to get Perl).

No doubt! Just saying one could ... were one in a boat like mine ... :>( ... at home, things are brighter ... :>) For the adventuresome, one could do the MSI install, zip it up with the registry keys in place as a .reg file, and distribute that. Otherwise, talk to the fine folks at ActiveState.
