WM 5.0 can, but you have no control over it.

It can launch setup DLL provided by you. You can launch what you need from
setup DLL.

CAB does not do anything; it's just been processed by WCELOAD. See above for
setup DLL you can add.

No.

Yes, it would remove keys created by itself on uninstall.

No. But you can do whatever from setup DLL. However, if you reboot device
from setup DLL, it would terminate your installation and it will be
incomplete.

On WM 5.0 you might be unable to do some stuff because of security
restrictions.
