Please don't hijack this thread.  It is about adding a feature to 
setup.exe.  Replacing setup.exe isn't even on the table.

For what it's worth, though, there've been a bunch of attempts at 
replacing setup.exe.  I could probably dig half a dozen attempts out of 
the archives.  (Not just vague maunderings, I mean actual working code.) 
  All have either fizzled or been shot down.  Another reason not to 
derail this thread: history says it's probably a waste of time.
