Though there was work on a BitRock based click-click Windows installer
previously, we dont have an updated one on dhis2.org currently, which is a
shame.

Of course, it is relatively straightforward to download and install Java,
Tomcat and Mysql separately, create the DHIS2_HOME variable and point it to
a folder where one creates hibernate.properties, create an empty database
and put the .war file in tomcat\webapps. In addition, one can set up Maven
and build from soruce.

I have written a recipe for doing the same on an Ubuntu server
http://www.openhealthconsortium.org/wiki/doku.php?id=ohm_on_an_ubuntu_server

However, we need to make it as easy as possible for people to get started -
therefore I propose to modify the openXdata IzPack installer. One
interesting thing with their setup is that they avoid the creation of an
environment variable by simply copying the hibernate properties file into
tomcat\webapps\openxdata

For OpenHealthMapper, we also want to prepopulate the database with country
hierarchies and corresponding geojson files (though we are also thinking to
offer the generalized geojson files as a webservice).
