I used this project when I had to do a Drupal intensive with a bunch of high school students.
They had Windows boxes and I needed to deploy Drupal to all their computers.
Since they were all beginners, I didn't want them to have to worry about mySQL command-line "CREATE DATABASE db;".
I wanted to make the process completely automated.
I built out a good install profile (with ultimateboy) and installed Drupal on a local wamp stack.
Then I copied out the relevant files (Database, file structure, httpd.conf) and put them on a CD.
To install Drupal, all you have to do is use "Wamp Installer" and run the batch file.
Because this was so incredibly customized, a few things (like the database name) are hard coded, but I'd like to extend this further.
