------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Feb 14 09:26:27 +0000 2008 ------- of: I'm sure I'm repeating something that has already been said : 1) Why an installed inside another installer? NSIS is a very versatile and powerfull installer, it could perform the entire process. Windows installer could also work out of a single self extracting archive. Again, why an installer that just unpackes another installer? - to increase the duration of the installation process - to use up double the disk space then the initially downloaded installer - to leave almost 100MB of files somewhere on the disk (user's desktop) - hassle the user to manually delete a bunch of installation leftovers something installed with MSI also copies parts of the kit as a MSI file somewhere inside c:\windows for it's Modify/Repair feature, why can't OO (assuming this is an issue) do the same, instead of leaving the entire kit on the desktop? and besides, leaving it on the desktop is like asking for the user to manually remove it, then any modify/repair functionality won't work any way! besides, it's not that much of an effort to uninstall it completely and put it back in. and with the fairly frequent version updates, what the hell would I need a repair option? Just install the latest one, or the initial one, whose kit I saved somewhere... user's prefs are savedin homedir, right? so a reinstall cycle won't affect the user. I've seen (fortunately only a few) uninstallers that requested the original instalation kit (usually the cd) for it to perform just uninstall (forget the modify/repair this time) and IMO I felt such a combination to be the worst possible idea. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
