It can. I don't consider Inno Setup user friendly, so it's not easy to
know how particular tasks can be achieved. Additionally to the "naked"
Inno Setup I can recommend ISTool, but it doesn't make the sitiation
much better. (Talking about version 4.0.9 of both programs, don't know
the latest versions.)

Here is a sample script for Inno Setup 4.0.9, that does (hopefully) what
Elliot wants (some lines are wrapping!):

-----------------------------------------------------------
; for Inno Setup 4.0.9
[Setup]
AppName=JL
AppVerName=JL 0.01
AppPublisher=J=FCrgen L=FCthje
DefaultDirName={pf}\JL
DefaultGroupName=JL
Compression=zip/9
OutputBaseFilename=jl_inst

[Files]
Source: jl_show.exe; DestDir: {app}; Flags: ignoreversion
Source: jl_show.exw; DestDir: {app}; Flags: ignoreversion
Source: sample.jl; DestDir: {app}; Flags: ignoreversion

[Icons]
Name: {group}\JL show; Filename: {app}\jl_show.exe; Parameters: {app}\sampl=
e.jl; IconIndex: 0

[Tasks]
Name: associate; Description: Associate JL files with this program (recomme=
nded).

[Registry]
Root: HKCR; SubKey: .jl; ValueType: string; ValueData: JLfile; Flags: unins=
deletekey; Tasks: associate
Root: HKCR; SubKey: JLfile; ValueType: string; ValueData: Cool files; Flags=
: uninsdeletekey; Tasks: associate
Root: HKCR; SubKey: JLfile\Shell\Open\Command; ValueType: string; ValueData=
: """{app}\jl_show.exe"" ""%1"""; Flags: uninsdeletevalue; Tasks: associate=

Root: HKCR; Subkey: JLfile\DefaultIcon; ValueType: string; ValueData: {app}=
\jl_show.exe,0; Flags: uninsdeletevalue; Tasks: associate
-----------------------------------------------------------

Because of the entry in the [Tasks] section, at the end of the
installation a checkbox with the text "Associate JL files with this
program (recommended)." will appear. Only if the user checks the box,
files with the extension .jl will be associated with the program
jl_show.exe.

The complete regarding Windows installation file can be downloaded here -
for the next week or so (about 0.4 MB):
