NSIS 2.x vs. 3.x

After we moved to NSIS 3.x with AOO 4.1.3 the texts are falling to default again (see attachment).
This is confusing, because NSIS does not "install" but only "unpacks" and prepares the installation.

The adapted texts are still there, but are not used in NSIS 3.x:

The first screen message in NSIS 3.x is fine (actually it is more useful than the in the previous version (which had basically the same text repeated on both screens).

The second message in simply wrong (because the files are not installed on the unpack folder)

Would it be possible to keep the new text in screen 1 and replace the text in screen 2 with the old one?

Better yet would it be possible to skip this screen by silently unpacking the install folder to some temp folder that is removed after install is finished?

You can already do this with:
Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.5_Win_x86_install_de.exe /S /POSTREMOVE=ON
