I just downloaded and tried out proTeXt on a scratch virtual
Windows. Besides MikTeX, it includes TeXnicCenter, Winedt,
Ghostscript and GSView, which makes it pretty complete.
Installation is run from a pdf installation manual.

As I understand, proTeXt is designed to be packaged with the TeX
Live cd set, but is otherwise completely separate from it. There
is a second Windows version in TeX Live, fpTeX, which IS
integrated.
