Does anyone know if it is possible to make the default screen presented in the Installer any wider? Specifically, in the Custom Install screen, I would like the Package Name column to be wider, without the user having to adjust the widths of the columns. So if there was a way to specify the width of the column, or make the entire screen wider, either of those solutions would work.

No, there isn't.

Also, does anyone know a trick to have it display a specific size of the install rather than having the installer determine the size automatically. For example, if a user installs the program, then deletes it, and then reinstalls later, it is still listed as an "upgrade" with "size 0". Of course if I delete the receipt after installation it would act as a fresh install next time, but I have previously been advised not to use a script to delete receipts.

The size calculations use receipts to decide, in interests of speed. Obviously, receipts often do not represent the actual state of the disk, so, alas, this calculation can easily be wrong.
