Yes, we do package and create the Windows installer.  I think we may be able to 
create
an installer that will install CAVE at the system level, so it only needs to be 
installed
once for any machine in your lab.  If we create an installer like this, would 
you/someone
at A&M be able to test it out?  We can try and have this available for v20 of 
CAVE.

Thanks for the question!
