I have an application that needs branding when downloaded in certain continents. When installed in North America, for instance, the application, when run, displays a different logo and company name than in Europe.

The setup file is provided through a PHP script. Presently there is a Inno Setup executable for Windows and a DMG for Mac OS X.

I have seen that when downloading Google Chrome, you can specify whether or not it should send usage statistics. A brief look at the JavaScript that controls it reveals that this is simply sent back to the server with &usagestats=0 or &usagestats=1.

How would I go about influencing the installation based upon settings specified via the PHP download page?
