Have you looked at the Standalones section in the Vignettes of the Max Help files? Lots of detail in there and a specific Windows bit too. What with probably THE most helpful forum I know, I reckon you could work it all out :) Sure I saw some tutorial about creating standalones somewhere too? Or maybe some slides someone did a presentation on? Anyone?

there's this:
