I haven't seen this happen locally, so I don't have any ideas. The installer
shouldn't be messing up like that though - afaik, it's not a common
occurance.

The only real way to make it better in this respect, imho, would be to
generate the installer a new way which allows for easier use of external
configuration program (meaning not nsis).

If it's reproducable in a new directory, I'd like information (like the
install.log)
