I know Bram builds with some version of Visual Studio, using the makefile distributed with Vim. You can look at the features list in the :version output to see what he compiled with. If you do that, your executable at least will have all the same features. To get it to install like the official installer, you can run the install.exe file created when you compile Vim. See http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Building_Vim#Building_Vim_on_Windows for a little more detail.

I don't know how the official graphical installer is created, but for your own personal use it shouldn't really be needed.

Sure, as long as they aren't HUGE. And text is much preferred to Word docs, PDFs, uncompressed images, etc. Just don't be rude. Thanks for asking!
