[Lazarus] How to deploy a Lazarus app for Windows?

IMHO, WIX is the best way to create Windows installer packages. It has 
the great advantage of using XML scripts to define the installation 
package. This allows you to put them under proper change control and 
makes it easy to copy and edit the script for each new application 
rather than start from scratch. The WIX toolset also runs under wine and 
with a FPC cross-compiler, it is possible to build both a Windows 
executable and the installer package under Linux. I have some 
applications that I deploy under both Windows and Linux and all the 
builds are performed from a single bash script under Linux. You can also 
use 7-zip to create a self-installer package from the .msi.
