The Install Options program will do what you are looking for, you just define what you want the window to look like in the INI file and then run it during the installation process.
If you want the user's name, just add 2 fields. the first is a label control with text "Enter your name:" and the second a text control. When the user clicks ok, it saves the results back into the INI file and you can read it into the installer.
If there is something else you are looking for, let me know. I am still actively writing the program and would be happy to add whatever you are wanting.
Defining the INI file is the only complicated part and I have a visual editor for that about 3/4 complete.
