Whilst I doubt this is high on the list of priorities it seems like quite an easy fix. I discovered two issues, the first is the version numbering - it is rejected unless it matches a certain pattern. So 1.1 beta should be, for example, 1.1b1. Secondly contrib.gis causes a problem with the code in msilib.py as city.$DB_BACKEND.sql all get shortened to city.sql, and there is an assertion that names must be unique. Therefore these files would need renaming. I suspect that the setup.py hack that looks for 'bdist_wininst' to include data files might have to be expanded to look for bdist_msi too.
