Well, you could drop the config files onto the user's PCs via the network, then run the Bacula installer in silent mode (checkout the /S switch). Alternatively, you can build your own installer using the .NSI files and NSIS (http://nsis.sf.net). The biggest problem is that the config files are really custom for every installation and while a discovery and config deployment system within the director (where clients would for example just get installed without any data and then use mdns or whatever to find the director and their settings) would be very cool, it is also quite far away from what Bacula is actually supposed to do: Taking backups. The installer could also be changed to parse a specific config file (put both in the same directory, run the installer and it does everything according to its 'script').... it's just a matter of finding somebody able to do so and defining the 'best' way to do it. (Just throwing ideas around here, I'm no coder and not savvy enough to actually build them.)
