Initially I think about placing system-wide plugins to
C:\Program Files\Bazaar\Plugins

But your idea is better. There is need to check how it will work
in the case non-admin installation, but generally it's OK for me.

We already have installer for standalone and python-based version of bzr.
It's not *.msi, but setup-*.exe instead. You have some strong reason
to avoid exe-installers?

Or, you talking about installing plugins as well as bzr.exe?

(All our life is unstable.)

I think your proposal is doable. And actually it's not very hard to do.
(But I'm not sure when and who will implement this.)
