After looking into the shoes installer a bit more...
http://github.com/why/shoes/tree/master/platform/msw
http://github.com/why/shoes/tree/master/platform/msw/stub.c

It seems that the platform specific installer is being downloaded (from 
a hard coded location) and being run in "silent mode" where any install 
locations are defaulted and assumed.

The windows platform specific installer is written in C. Unfortunately, 
I'm not a C coder. Not to say I couldn't tinker, but I don't have true C 
skills for creating new code.

Anyway, that's my quick report.
