Looks really cool  :-)  Thanks!

Here's just a few minor comments:

Cosmetics: The word "Wizard" doesn't fit into the space reserved for the
main text, in both the first and the last setup step, at least on my Win
XP pc (Normal Font size, 1024 x 768).  The same is true for the
description of the components, during the component-selection step. 
Would it be possible to make the setup window resizable, or maximizable?

Select components to install: IMO, components that have only one
subcomponent ("Header files" only) don't need to have a subitem in the
checkbox-tree.  OTOH, it would be nice to have a way to quickly
select/unselect a specific configuration (debug/release, static/shared),
for all components.

Just my 2 cents,

Good night,
