You could also look into Wix, which is a xml based scripting language, pretty easy to get started with, I think.

Just remembered that I once had a simular "task", I solved it using wix. I made an installer using Wix and created a bootloader that contained the software that was to be installed.

Furthermore, if an UI is needed for the scripting wixeditor is ok.

A good getting started tutorial for Wix, Wix tutorial

Have you looked at already existing installer systems?

Perhaps Nullsoft, or Inno Setup, suits your needs.

You can script them according to your requirements.
