For now one option you have is to get qt from git or source packages. I know 
this isn't perfect and takes time to compile, but at least it always works.

In the meantime I checked what we are missing to have the installers 
accessible and it is actually not much.
We need to statically link in the widget accessible plugin which is not big.
On Linux I can then get Orca to work with the installer. I assume that it will 
work on Windows as well but have not tested it.

I am not sure if we manage to get everything working in Qt 5.2 though.

Greetings,
Frederik
