No need to apologize, you didn't "suck" this idea from anyone. I believe you just had this idea all of your own, but somebody else also had this idea.

Concerning that creation wizard, I guess most users won't give a damn whether their exe is really a sophisticated coding artwork or a simple piece of work created with such a wizard, as long as it does what they want it to do - install PB 2.6mm in two clicks!
However, the question is if you can tell your installer to edit a text file (like MetaMod's plugins.ini, for example) instead of replacing it, or to check for components that are already installed.
I bet users won't be happy if the installer fails to detect their installed MetaMod + AMX + StatsMe in Folder A and instead installs a second MetaMod + PodBot 2.6mm in Folder B... 9_9
