I like the nice wx-based GUI, that's really pretty.

I'm taking a quick browse through the code. I see that you've based it on
chunks of the core setup.exe code, somewhat refactored and restructured. I
wonder if we couldn't merge the two codebases, in such a way that there's one
common 'setup engine' with a couple of alternative GUI front-ends; that might
be a neat way to fix up all the missing features and make sure there is
thoroughly consistent behaviour between the two different installers. You
know your own code better than I do - do you think that would be practical?
cheers,
