nullsoft has a popular open source installer generator.  could look into 
that.

 It's perfectly ok to release a .zip file with bin/ include/ lib/
 directories, like many other projects do.  You could write a
 Makefile.am target which creates this zip file.
 
 Client developers could then ship libmpdclient2.dll with their client.
 
 Sure, the long-term goal is to have one global libmpdclient2.dll,
 with a fancy installer, which is shared by all clients, but that's not
 too important today, for the first release.

(fixed top post)
Yes, that's what I was posting; I posted an example NSI, the main
problem is I'm unsure where global libraries go. I'd like to make sure
I'm not mucking stuff up too much. I'd also like to know if a restart
is required after install of global libraries.

When it comes down to it, developers could distribute individually, or
we could do this right in the first go-around and just have global
from the get-go.
