Well, on windows I guess it's something else than a /bin/sh script that does the initial unpacking.

I'm quite new to pike and just curious if it is possible to make a pike script into an executable format (which doesn't require to install pike)
I'm almost sure it is possible, cause pike can install itself, which is a pike script...
You can run the pike interpreter without actually _installing_ it first, but you need to have it accessible somewhere in the filesystem. The installer first unpacks the interpreter using a small /bin/sh script, and then runs the interpreter in uninstalled mode to launch the installer script.
In order to run a pike interpreter that is not installed, you should invoke it like this:
/path/to/pike/binary -DNOT_INSTALLED -m/path/to/master.pike
Another question: is there any GUI libraries for windows? (GTK isn't so stable under windows)
There is only GTK.
