I do have that requirement, not that I love it very much.

The mere existence of multiple "alternative" installers should speak to

I have one last idea of how to live without that particular change. If
it works, I'll drop the patch. I will propose at least two other
changes that I don't think have workarounds that wouldn't require to
duplicate large swathes of functionality that already is in setup.exe,
but simply not accessible from the command line.
