  Nullsis is the first thing that leaps to mind

http://nsis.sourceforge.net/

  I don't actually know if it has the requisite features, but it accepts
plug-ins and it's opensource.

  OTOH, I reckon that the wholesale scrapping of setup.exe would only lead to a
replacement with a new set of bugs and problems of its own.  ISTM that despite
the problems, setup.exe is 95% of the way there.  I'm not sure where the biggest
win lies.


    cheers,
