Having an automated installer would be very nice. If the installation is 
easy enough, OOoLilyPond could also be a good solution for lots of 
people with less computer skills. I also think of people that are now 
using commercial music notation software like Finale. I haven't heard of 
a Finale plugin for word. The way music snippets from Finale including 
in text documents is to save it as eps and include it into Word or OOo. 
Using OOoLilyPond is much faster and creating small music snippets using 
the lilypond language is not that hard then creating complex sheet music.

I already thought about an automatic Installer and I know that there is 
one or even several ways to do it. It is on my to do list. So it can be 
expected in future versions.
