This is being tracked in:
http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=58260

Someone reported that at least mcs, ilasm and mono work from cmd.exe.
The last attempt at a working installer is

Well, no one provided a win32 installer that works and I decided to use
the .nsi file in mono CVS to build the packages.Turned out that the
existing file generated installers were pretty broken and I'm trying to
build a good one and then reuse it for next releases. Hope to get it
soon with the feedback people is sending.
