Everyone should be allowed msi setup

windows setup msi should be avaliable to everyone.
The powerarchiver standard setup is rubbish compared to msi (windows) setup.

What’s wrong with the current Innosetup? WFM :)
-
windows setup msi can repair itself adn is more reliable

I respect your opinion.
However, reinstall a software is even easier and faster than MSI repair feature…
:cool:
-
what about InstallShield?
Its the best installer…but the actually one is good enough for me! -
Tee hee - War of the installers :D Won’t be long now before someone else suggests NSIS ;)

LOL!!
Wise Installation Wizard is good too! But im repeat: im happy with the actually one!

I absolutely can’t stand the Windows MSI installers, because they litter their crap on the hard drive and in the registry, use stupid uninstall registry entries that are all over the place (under HKCU? Under HKLM? How about both!)
And sometimes, they use non-standard shortcuts, which really drives me nuts. I like to be able to view and edit my shortcuts, thank you very much. I don’t like a shortcut which I can’t view the target on.
The crappy MSI installers often create startup entries that point to obscure folders, like “C:\WINDOWS\Installer{5FC4590C-1975-4F94-9A64-274F29BC9221}\Local\Installed\Binaries\fubar.exe”. Thanks, but I prefer “C:\Program Files\FUBAR\fubar.exe”.
And finally, they don’t uninstall cleanly. Use a good uninstaller utility, and you will see what I mean.

Youre propably right…i had a lot of anger with these Un/Installers!
I had to use TuneUp to clean my registry and disks after this unprecise and unclean installations!
This is a lot of work which dont had to be
