Well, there's always the option of just asking the user when the
auto-detection fails. For instance, I'm using Apache from the XAMPP
distribution and your installer does not detect it. I'm sure there's
quite a few perfectly valid setup scenarios that would not be detected
either.

I will take a look at the installer script and see if I could smuggle
something like that in there. At first glance it seems your script was
written against a rather old version of Inno, could that be? AFAICT
you're not using the new wizard page syntax nor the built-in Log
functions...

Cheers,
