How not to create installers

Monday, April 28, 2008


After two years today I re-installed MSN Messenger on my PC (I wanted to give a shot to see how good the new MSN Live Messenger service is as it's been some time and I was hoping to see some improvements especially on the voice quality etc). But G, to my surprise and utter frustration I end up un-installing the crapola from my PC in less than 5 minutes.

Why?

I downloaded the automated web installer which scanned my PC for roughly 5-7 minutes searching for any other Windows LIVE products. Stupid moron windows installer, I want to install MSN Messenger, what is there to do with other live products?, can't you just pick up the path from registry or some friggin config file? Some times I really don't understand why M$ does not go for some feasibility testing
