Didn't follow the last bit at all, but as to the first part, no, we'd never let this be customized. Installing something is supremely dangerous, once you get something on a victim's disk you've one. We can't take a chance that someone would "customize" the install dialog to look like it's something else entirely. I am starting the work to make XPInstall embeddable, which will allow the install UI to be overridden by an XPCOM service--but you'd have to install that service first, and it would from then on provide the UI for all installs. Do you have completely different needs, or do you just want to improve what's there? We can certainly improve the Mozilla UI (and in fact are thinking about ways to do it). -Dan Veditz
