Yes, a bdist_wininst installer is what I had in mind.  MSI would be

If anyone wants to have a look, there's a README file that details
what I did to build yapgvb for Python 2.4.

The source is available from anonymous subversion:

   svn co https://yapgvb.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/yapgvb yapgvb

and is also web-browseable, http://yapgvb.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/yapgvb/
