You can use InnoSetup to create exe installer with specified cuix, dll, and lisp file, where in lisp file You may use command netload to load C#, and command menuload to load cui file.

You should use the Autoloader mechanism. Just create a.bundle folder containing a PackageContents.xml file and your.dll and.cuix files. Then, simply depoly it in an ApplicationPlugins folder with any installer.
