A "standard" and a "custom" option only for this purpose would be
overkill IMHO (although it is possible with Inno Setup). I think a check
box with an appropriate warning such as

   [x] Associate Euphoria file types with the respective programs
       (only experienced users should turn this off!).

should be sufficient.

I like this idea. This is also possible with Inno Setup, using the flag
"createvalueifdoesntexist". It could look something like this:

<ISScript>
...
[Registry]
Root: HKCR; SubKey: .exw; ValueType: string; ValueData: EUWinApp; Flags:
uninsdeletekey createvalueifdoesntexist
...
</ISScript>
