Unzip the app.zip. You will get a folder, e.g. MyApp.app. Now drag that folder into iTunes and it should be ok.

I have tried it, but it is still not working. The apple-documentation says that the app must be compressed on a mac.

first darg the file ending with .mobileprovision and the add your application which will look like a folder with name ending with .app e.g "yourApplicationName.app"

Yeah, sure, so you build your app on the mac and you zip it. You go to the AppName/build/Distribution-iphoneos folder and there you will see a file named AppName.app (Finder shows it as file but in reality it's not). Right-click on this AppName.app file and select Compress "AppName.app". Then you will get a zip which you can then send to the people who have Windows. They can use the procedure I explained above to install. I've used this procedure successfully many many times.

This is how I USED to do it. It appears you have to use the payload method described above with iTunes 10.

Wow, didn't know about that. So on Windows doesn't it work then?

As mentioned - unzip it, but don't forget to drag the .mobileprovision too If that doesn't work, check back in your provisioning so it's set to the right device. Common mistake.

The only way I know to do this is to get the .app file in Mac, put it into a folder called "Payload". Then you have to ZIP this folder and change its name from "Payload.zip" to "MyAppName.ipa". Mac will ask if you are sure you want to change the extention, select "YES". Now you can drag and drop this file into itunes.
There's no other way to do it afaik. Windows makes problems with the macosx "fork" files (if you open the .app file there is a folder named "_MACOSX" or similar... and windows breaks this).
