You can view your setup logs using Navigate > Open Setup Log. That may provide some insight as to what was misbehaving.
You can edit the setup scripts using Navigate > Open Setup > Parent Models > Catalog Index
That opens an editor for the whole catalog. Setup files are hierarchal, so the rules in the parent nodes also affect the setup for Platform UI... however, most of the time you just want to edit the platform UI node. To view them, drill down here:
Eclipse Projects > Platfrom > UI
Right-click on it and select "Open in Setup Editor".
The actual .setup script for the platform UI bits lives in the eclipse.platfor.ui repository, in the org.eclipse.ui.releng project, in the file platformUi.setup.
Normally the easiest way to edit oomph scripts is to drag-and-drop nodes from other similar setup scripts. I'd suggest creating a perspective containing the outline view, the properties view, and the Repository Explorer view. You really need these three views whenever you're editing an oomph script since some attributes can only be edited in the properties view and the oomph editor uses the outline view to show a preview rather than an actual outline.
There's two ways to test your oomph script:
1. Load it into the standalone Eclipse Installer. It has an option for loading an external .setup script.
2. If you're editing the same oomph script you used to install your host, you can re-run the edited version by using Help > Perform Setup Tasks...
If you get stuck, the oomph developers are fairly active on the
eclipse.org forums (if you can figure out the cryptic UI for the
eclipse.org forums, that is...)
Good luck.

Hi,
I recently installed the environment for platform development via oomph, as this is the proposed way now. I noticed in the logs that some dependencies from 4.5 are installed that way additionally to my 4.6 installation.
Maybe I misunderstand what I have seen, but also the installation took quite long. So the question is, where can I find the related configuration files (I'm not familiar with oomph so far)? And who is maintaining these files if my assumption is correct that some wrong versions are still included?
Greez,
Dirk
