I think it would be nice if the installer could provide several options of
what to install, for instance:
[x] Base Mercurial
[x] Graphical commit tool extension (qct)
[x] Graphical diff/merge tool extension (kdiff3)
[x] (other extensions)
[x] Windows Explorer integration (TortoiseHG)
And then the required permission level for the selected options can be
determined and requested based on the user selection.
I don't know if that is possible with InnoSetup, or how much work it would
be?
