Comment(by nigel):

 1. Having a .bat file to bootstrap this is a good idea

 2. It fails on an (empty) XP machine for me:
 {{{
 C:\Documents and Settings\nigel\Desktop>MythInstaller.bat
 'Could' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
 operable program or batch file.
 The system cannot find the batch label specified - end

 C:\Documents and Settings\nigel\Desktop>
 }}}
 but I think I know enough about DOS to put an echo in there.

 3. It would be even better if it downloaded and installed Perl. I haven't
 managed to find a short URL on !ActivePerl.com to do the download, but
 http://strawberryperl.com/download/strawberry-perl-5.10.0-final.exe will
 probably work.

 4. I think having a batch file which contains a perl script is a bit ugly
 and high maintenance. If I can get it to work, I will take all that out,
 and get the .bat to download and run the latest one from
 http://svn.mythtv.org/svn/trunk/mythtv/contrib/Win32/build/win32-packager.pl
