No, some utilities (like the ping port utility) come with the windows
installer only.

It's a matter whether you use the windows installer or not, not a
matter of upgrade or not. I totally agree however, that we should have
no differences between the windows installer and the "normal"
installation. This was discussed already:
http://issues.cocoondev.org/browse/DSY-431
hopefully we will eventually achieve that goal. Any help is appreciated!

Me too!

Correct, the only real problem that I can see is to find someone who
is willing to do this work. Please note, that the idea of an upgrade
tool has been discussed (and eventually discarded) already:
http://issues.cocoondev.org/browse/DSY-409
Feel free to reopen that issue and to provide that tool to the community!
