Could it be this simple?

I am ready to distribute my application but I need an installer for
Windows and I am programming this on a Mac. My installation process is
very simple. All I need to do is unzip the folder to the desired
location. No registry settings or any other installation processes.
Stuffit Deluxe for the Mac can create a self extracting archive for
Windows as a .exe file which unstuffs to the folder and I'm done.
I got to thinking that I can probably do the same thing myself in Rev.
1. GZip the folder on the Mac
2. Make a Rev Windows standalone that contains the zipped file in a
Custom Property that will Unzip/Install the folder when opened.
Distribute the standalone "Installer".
Could it be this simple? Other than not being "Signed by
Microsoft" (unless I go through the certification/payment process), is
there anything wrong with what I'm suggesting?
Or should I pay for StuffIt Deluxe to do this?
Thanks,
Bill Vlahos
