I would like to help to build a new installer. I suggest we use InnoSetup or 
NSIS. I like InnoSetup because it's easier to mantain, but NSIS generates 
smaller installer files. I can try to understand what the current installer 
does, but it will go faster if you give me a summary.

I agree.

I have no time now to create another installer. I will be grateful to 
you if you do this forĀ  the project, not for me ;)
