There is npackd[1] which can be utilized, it supports custom
repositories, which in this case you will need to do. There isn't a
PyQt configuration in the default repo's.

Quickly, npackd is a windows package manager written in Qt that works
similar to apt or yum for the respective linux distributions. It
supports installs from a variety of installers [2]. Probably just need
to write a repo and script file for your clients to use. It can
support all 3rd party libs you need.

please note, I'm just an advocate of this system and think it adds a
missing ingredient to the windows eco-system and we use it
successfully at my job to install our windows based applications. I
personally haven't used it to deploy anything, my co-worker does
manage our repo for it.
