The nightly build with these changes won't be online for at least five
hours. The build starts at 24:00 GMT+2.

That won't be easy. WiX and msi don't provide easy ways to fill such
list controls. And of course we would have to first create a separate
msi dialog for that, which also isn't easy to do.

Remember that we're using WiX and msi for our installer. Doing such
complicated tasks is very complicated and requires a lot of work. And I
mean a *lot*.
Maybe it would be better if we just search for JAWS installations and
always install the scripts automatically, without any UI.
