we don't do anything like that. And to my own surprise it just works. As far 
as I am aware, KDE-PIM applications need to modify the registry in order to 
register as default e-mail client, etc. Perhaps some KDE on Windows expert can 
comment, whether there are other circumstances besides this, where changes to 
the registry are actually needed.

One thing that is missing in this method is entries in the Application Menu. 
This would require running kwinstartmenu.exe. Since kwinstartmenu.exe in KDE 
4.4 had a bug that prevented it from adding RKWard to the menu (it refused to 
add .bat-commands), I decided not to worry about that for now, and to instruct 
users to copy a .lnk-file to their desktop, instead.

Regards
Thomas
