Which is exactly what the user can do in a "custom" installation.

A bunch of source data files in scp2 (used on all platforms), a pile of Perl run from 
solenv/bin/make_installer.pl, a number of template .idt files for Windows Installer, which are then 
mangled by the Perl code and produces stuff fed to Windows Installer tools like msidb,  ending up 
with a .msi file, one or several .cab files, and optionally a number of .mst files.

Then there is a setup.exe which is plain C++ code which is a small program that just runs msiexec 
on the .msi file, telling it which installer UI localisation to use.

And finally all this can optionally be wrapped by NSIS into a single executable file installer like 
the ones that we offer.
