Question How to get setup programs' signatures...

Hi all,
I'm starting to have a lot of setup files/installation unpackers actually all of wich are managing a single or some packer(s) type(s) (installshield different versions, Inno, Wise, msi, netinstaller, ...)
Each time I download a program it's always the same story, except for some evident cases I'm not able to recognize which is the used setup packer, so what I do is try all the tools I have, hoping to find one able to manage it.. not a really smart process indeed

I'm now wondering if there's a way or a tool like PEiD for packed programs that recognizes the signatures so as at least to know with which program the setup has been done and to directly user/search the proper unpacker..

Or could it directly be PEiD properly setted up, inserting the signatures in the ini file..afterall it's just a matter of understanding the signature each install builder app leaves inside (strings, informations, byte patterns..)

Could also be an idea for a project to start in case it doesn't exist yet.
