Can I seriously suggest that you try checking the setup sources out of
cvs and help implement some of these ideas? None of them are new. In
fact, all of them have been mentioned repeatedly.
The best way to help out is to offer some of your time to work on the
program.
If you are not a programmer, then, that's fine, too. The best way to
help out in that case is to be available for setup.exe testing and to
be aware of the current state of development so as not to make the
setup.exe developers read YA message with the same suggestions for
improvement.
