    Description

      It is possible to specify customizable key/value pairs at the end of the command line to an installer.

      e.g. 

      installer.exe [options] command <args> <key=value>

      However, as far as I can see there is no way to supplement the help that is output when you run: 

      installer.exe --help

      It just displays the "out-the-box" vanilla help provided to all QtIFW based installers.

       

      Suggestion: 

      Make it possible for customised help text to created by installer creators and output in response to --help.

      Minimum requirement: probably add custom help in addition to the "default" help, but perhaps make it possible to replace the original as well?
