Hmm.  Both those products can be seriously misread...

The link you point to says that the "Inno Setup Extensions"
package can do what you want, and it can.  Another tip:
what we do, and what the author of pyant.sourceforge.net
does, is to have a Python script which assembles various bits
and pieces and generates/tweaks the Inno ISS file.

OTOH I just glanced at the NSIS page and saw this
"A lovely coding experience with elements of PHP and assembly
(includes 20 general purpose variables, a stack, real flow control,
etc)".  Which would make me run a mile at first glance...
