Yes it will, see below.

You don't have to move the files. The new FD will work perfectly fine
from c:\bacula\bin with the config files remaining in the old paths as
well (I use it as such) so upgrading this way is no issue.
For new machines, you will have to decide whether you want to use the
new subdirectories (in which case you need to adapt the script when you
want to do upgrades for them) or the old ones (in which case I recommend
installing an old 1.38.x FD and then upgrading it without the installer).

As I said, it has, or at least it had. Try out the /S (upper case) and
/Service options. The problem is, that I have not found a way to
remotely get software to execute (apart from dropping it into the
startup program 'group/directory' and rebooting the system). Windows' at
service doesn't seem to work when invoked via RPC from a Linux box (at
least it didn't for me.)
