It would be good if that setup wizard does not have strictly built-in
questions. In its form how it is now it is very poor, it asks few
questions that were decided by programer. I don't think it can fit
all.

Instead, I am proposing that setup wizard provides data definition, so
that people can create their setup wizards themselves and that setup
wizard can easily be expanded by data definition templates.
