I just thought that, theoretically, if some program (say Unix Runtime 
Environment like Cygwin) is installed before the "sh" Linux script, then that 
RTE associates the "sh" extension like it's Windows new format,
then it can work.

But, in order to do that, Cygwin must be extended:
a) Cygwin must have access to real Windows directories (not virtual Linux 
folders)
b) Cygwin must associate *.sh extension, like it's own.

Then the result will be a real multi-platform installer!!! yay !

What do you think?
