This is a hack, but:

Rather than having separate BFAV2 and BFAV2 Installer packages, you 
could instead have separate releases on the same package.  So you 
release a version called "BFAV2 2.08" and also "BFAV2 2.08 Installer".  
Only mark the "Installer" release as published, and make sure it comes 
after the non-Installer release, so that it's the one installed by 
default.
