Agreed. But since the question was about one-click I thought I'd respond
to that ;-)

Personally, I prefer Advanced Installer[1] since it creates MSIs and has
both a nice interactive environment as well as a scriptable form (i.e.,
it integrates nicely into the rest of the build process). You should
give it a shot - it's a really great product, it has a free version and
if you're making real products the professional version is definitely
worth having.

I haven't looked at your install but one thing that I never quite got is
how the whole Smalltalk image model plays into this. Considering that
the installation location for an application is generally read-only I'm
not sure what the whole process means unless one installs an end-user
application. Or do Pharo users not save their images?
