That sounds like something that may actually work <grin/>. It'll require some 
work on my side but if I get it to work, I'll share it here.

InnoSetup does populate the QuietUninstallString value in the Uninstall

For now, you could always write a little wrapper exe yourself that receives the 
InstallCommand and UninstallCommand and does the right thing and include the 
real setup.exe as a payload of that package.
