We moved away from building on top of prebuild packages some month ago.
There are several reason behind this decision but one of them was the 
hardcoding of path within more than one file within the packages.
Currently we cannot invest much time in testing that way, though we will 
be glad to work with the experiences made with it.
It would be obviously better to reuse the packages so it will be a goal 
after the installer reached stable status soon and the work on the 
commandline installation tool will start.

As Jaroslaw already stated, we need every helping hand, so please join 
our efforts in bringing KDE to windows.
