I had written an update to the installer script
that worked until sometime in December I believe
and then for some reason the mime types stopped
working properly. There are probably a lot more
enhancements to be done (Zorik was going to do
this but probably got sidetracked - some of my
notes to him are listed below).

Following that is a NSIS script I put together
simply to create an "installer" to register the
Mime Types, apart from the installer that installs
VLC and plugins into its destination folder.
====================================================================

Look at:

Convert Registry branches into NSIS (then edit for new info, such as "see
how RealPlayer is installed, turn it into an NSIS file and change it for 
Mozilla)

http://nsis.sourceforge.net/archive/nsisweb.php?page=351&instances=0,8

A plug-in for new NSIS 2 (the newest contains "Modern UI, which is required)
to let you do radio boxes, check boxes, etc. Don't know if there's a 
pre-compiled
version out there or if you have Visual C++...

http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Contrib/InstallOptions/
Example ini file with checkboxes, etc.
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Contrib/InstallOptions/test.ini
The ReadMe:
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Contrib/InstallOptions/Readme.html

This may be already included with ModernUI, as there's a directory
under Examples for ModernUI that seems to have the Install Options
stuff in ioA.ini, ioB.ini & ioC.ini.

Also search for "Call InstallOptions" in :
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Contrib/Modern%20UI/Readme.html
