" Proceed through the installer for a while, clicking Help on each screen. "

On each screen available, or on each screen you go through? The first meaning could make for a wearisome test case. I'd rather avoid robot-like test cases (for humans, not when we automate it) and go with the second meaning, relying on fuzzy-testing (each person does that a bit differently) instead.

Sounds good to me.

PS: Originally I wanted to add that I'd also like to extend this to the installed system, not just installer. In the installed system, it would cover only the "main help entry", i.e. somewhere in main system menu. But then I realized we probably already have it covered by "default application functionality" criterion.
