I'm currently writing some guidance for developers who create installers for Windows applications (a sphere for which there seems to be very little advice - book anyone?).
An issue that has come up is asking the user whether they want to install the server software, the client software, or (essentially) both to install a standalone version. While my initial reaction was that it would be simpler for the user not to have to make this choice at all there is also a cost for them in having different installers for all these purpose - a system admin would have to administer 3 install exes for example: effectively just forcing them to make this choice at a filename rather than a UI level. Has anyone designed a screen for this purpose? When did you include it in the installation process? Has anyone seen a particularly good example of a screen of this type? ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
