The main UIview program installer, since the death of it's author, is 
now a sealed unchangeable "black box".  There is no way to incorporate 
additional features directly into it. 

I am now experimenting with a second level installer that would 
sequentially execute several separate installers packed into a single 
distribution  file.   It would first execute the main UIview 2.03 
installer, and then run a second one that could install all the add-ons 
in one pass. This will probably be somewhat clunky and definitely bulky 
since multiple INSTALL.EXE utilities would be incorporated into a single 
file.
