I don't this is the best place to ask for that ;)

In anycase the installer program in UT2004, is based upon the Loki 
installer. This installer has been used for many other games (UT99 [AKA 
UT classic], Quake3, NWN, Unreal 1, RTCW, FAKK2, SoF, etc). I don't know 
if there's an updated version of the installer, but maybe Ryan (icculus) 
could comment on that.
