Its coming slow. I'll look at this link too. I am melding your earlier
prototype and also Troy's. I've been busy and have not been able to put
in as much time as I'd like.
What I have done so far is to read the NSIS documentation carefully
(boy, there's a lot there) and document what is present in both your and
Troy's system as I blend it into a third. So far it does nothing
creative. I'm about half way done with that.
I'll post where I have gotten tomorrow so you can see the scripts.

I am working on the installer and hope to have a first pass done by next

may be a final pass.
I was wondering what the status of this is.
Here is a link to YAPI (yet another prototype installer)
http://lcdbible.sourceforge.net/misc/LcdBibleInstaller_prototype.zip
It attempts to be a draft for a "family of CrossWire applications",
using LcdBible as an example, and taking into account:
* that The SWORD Project's BibleCS sword.exe may have already been
installed,
* that SWORD_PATH may be defined
* that BibleStudy may have been installed
It attempts to detect SWORD_PATH, sword.exe, and biblestudy.exe, and
put up a custom nsis page if so. The default is that the first choice
is to install LcdBible in the same directory as sword.exe, then with
SWORD_PATH, then with BibleStudy.exe, and then on its own. This is
done to avoid a proliferation of resources being installed.
The above is admittedly rather complicated ... here is a patch file to
modify SWMgr::findConfig that looks in the parent directory for
mods.conf or mods.d, then in ../resources, then in the current
directory, then in SWORD_PATH, then in HOME. This is to implement a
directory structure that is less tied to modules being installed in
the same directory as sword.exe
http://lcdbible.sourceforge.net/misc/swmgr_findconfig_lda_060201d.patch
Caveats:
* Not at all a full installer .... mostly to illustrate installation
choices for getting sword-devel list feedback
* detection of sword.exe based on 1.5.6 practice
* detection of biblestudy.exe just a guess to illustrate
* doesn't really install anything
* uses "classic" nsis rather than mui for now .... easier for me to
develop and debug
* doesn't handle InstallManager
* no provision for uninstaller
