My rant of long standing is that Macromedia has never gotten it together
with
installers or updates. I know they are aware of the problem, because they
continually are hearing about it.
The very simplest (and cheapest) software applications as well as the
majors,have one-step installers written when updates are released. I even
did
this for years when I was working in a DoD facility developing software and
the
contractor I worked for had far less resources available than a giant such
as
MM.
We all know that Macromedia has licenses for InstallShield (the most
popular)
and InstallAnywhere, but we are at a loss as to why they do not utilize this
to
install their updates.

OK its gripe time....
Just about to run an upgrade on a ColdFusion 5 set of servers in a test
environment and I must say that back in the days of Allaire we used to get
Service Packs with nice rolled up packaged of ALL hotfixes and Security
updates but now I have to trawl through the MM site to get all ELEVEN
hotfix
updates in Zip format and THEN goto the security site to get all of those
as
well.....now I am going to be upgrading 3 or 4 servers here dont you think
that a service pack would make this a whole lot easier.......
bring back Allaire Service Packs...none of this hotfix unless its critical
and it can wait till another pack!!!!
