customized setup project

Hi,
I'm trying to create a customized setup project for my application. I
want to write a setup project which will install several merge modules
(- this I know how to do).

Before running the setup, I want the admin to have the ability to
create a customized setup, containing which ever merge modules he
choses to include from the merge module pool. I would like this
application to compile into a setup msi file.

Does anybody have an Idea of how I can write such a setup? I thought
about a seperate application generating an INI file which will be read
by the setup when it's running, but I think creating a customized setup
without the need for an external, readable file will not cause security
problems.

Thanks a lot!
