I extracted the installer with innoextract, and manually copied the directories listed for Nightly builds in the OpenXcom documentation[1] to the place where OpenXcom looks, and successfully began a new game and played a mission. I don't know how exhaustively OpenXcom checks its datafiles at startup, but it seemed good to me. I'm not sure how to interpret the "assets not in setup_xcom_ufo_defense_2.0.0.4.exe" section. For example, it starts off looking for a file named "GEODATA/BIGLETS.DAT" with an MD5 of 6a2b1... and it's correct that such a file doesn't exist. The setup file's BIGLETS.DAT has an MD5 of 9f20e... and the generated manifest maps that MD5sum to the name "GEODATA/BIGLETS.DAT?orig". In fact, all the "assets not in setup..." other than ROLAND.CAT are all in the "obsolete" group with the "?orig" suffix.

If I delete the SOUND/* files and UFOINTRO/* files listed in "remaining contents..." (other than SOUND/ROLAND.CAT) then OpenXcom still works, so I guess they're not required. None of the other "remaining contents..." are mentioned in the OpenXcom docs, so I guess they're irrelevant.
