Yes, I agree with all of this (having done it, setup isn't *that*
hard, but it's certainly a lot more complex than Delphi!), especially
the unified setup idea.

One of the things I really like about Developer Express's components
right now is that you get a single setup EXE (it's huge, but worth the
download) which installs everything you have licensed from the company.
Borland, take note.
