Is it normal for Windows apps to ask the user for such settings in the installer? (I recently installed a lot of stuff on a windows machine and never saw this, but maybe that's due to the selection of software I installed).

Well it's been a while but a far number of tools I've used before when 
installing them (say OOo or Firefox) have a default install radio button 
and below that a custom one that allows you to change things at install 
time. While usually this is related to what libraries to install, I have 
seen it used for such options Thus it's a one click to move past it, or not.

As long as it doesn't go the dosbox approach with 2 different menu 
entries/launchers, one for console, one for no console I think we're 
fine... (ie: http://img693.imageshack.us/i/006.png/)
