This can be used to build a MSI package to install Zabbix Agent on Windows. You will need WiX toolset to build a msi (http://wix.sourceforge.net/).
We use NSIS (http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Features) for that. Lots of features, forms so you can specify certain values for the agent and lots more.

Do you use NSIS for generate a MSI package or for a regular .exe installer?
Could you share your solution to us ? :)
A note, i know some solution based on NSIS, but it generates the .exe installer, not msi. http://www.suiviperf.com/zabbix/
doh my bad!
NSIS makes use of .nsi files (the scriptfiles) to make a .exe, my bad. So in the end I have a .exe that installs the zabbix agent, registers the service, puts some other useful executables in the zabbix dir, and fills the neccesary options in the .ini. See attachment for the file we use. It uses some includes that are not default, if you miss some please PM me and I'll update the .zip
