One solution to this would be to reimplement it as two separate parts
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.
