Milestone
Right now, if you want to install several packages with wizards or FOMODs, you have to select each individually and select the Install option (or the Advanced Installation > Wizard/FOMOD Installer option).
That's because these installers change certain GUI components of the currently selected package (e.g. checked subpackages, FOMOD checkbox, etc.).
We should be able to make these installers handle multiple packages by just programmatically selecting the next package in the selection, then updating the GUI.
Would be a huge productivity win, since now you could just dump a bunch of packages you wanted to install on the Installers tab, select them all and click Install, and WB would just figure out the best installers to run for each.
Opening this as a personal reminder and so it shows up on the version history.
