Depends on what Windows installer. Fedora's LiveUSB-creator for MS Windows will install Live Fedora Linux on a USB-stick without touching the MS Windows system. Then after booting with LiveUSB you are already in Linux and can install a real Linux-partition straight or if needed after shrinking the Windows partition.
