In the same way that the KVM agent is packaged for distribution, an installer is required for the Hyper-V agent.
The open-source candidate for creating this installer is WiX (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WiX) While open-source, it's not clear that WiX works or runs in an environment other than Windows. Does this mean that the installer should be in a separate repo?

Based on what KVM does, what is the pattern for distributing non-Java agents?

I can't see Microsoft house sysadmins being willing to build their own agents in order to use CloudStack...
