InnoSetup is a fabulous installer for windows, and worth a look:
http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php You can get the latest source via
CVS. It'll be complicated to look through, but I'm sure you'll find some
of what you're looking for. Last time I looked through the source for it
was about 8 years ago, so it will have grown a bit since then... NB it's
Delphi code, with some hacks that might not be fully compatible with
FPC, but you should be OK reading it.

Once you get the hang of them, resources are pretty easy - I'm sure
you'll be fine :-)
