OK i have finaly found how to send you the emails.
your webpages are needlessly wordy. hire an intern to review and forward [EMAIL PROTECTED] to various departments. anyways thats not the point. I just want to let you knwo that after having deployed alot of open office clients, i recently downloaded 2.03 or whatever (latest release as of 2006-08-24). it asked me twice where to install it. I PERSONALLY BEING OF SOUND KNOWLEDGE understand the first prompt to be the temporary directory that the program will unzip -if you will- the installation files to. To a lesser user, who only ever sees one path ( IF they can even MIRACLEOUSLY DETERMINE what saving a file, a path, and directory structure, are...) would be very confusing. You are forcing the users to understand what temporary files from an exe extraction are. That is not somethig the user needs to or wants to know. trust me. i even installed it to the wrong place and i read everything, because it is confusing. One path. The place you want da file/program to go. WTF why should the default install be c:\documents and settings\username\localsettings\temp ? that path is crazy i dont want to install software there! JUst assume that no one, ok 99% of ALL windows users do not care if you polute your installer files there. its bad "eddict" i guess.. but i would guess that no one cares except for perhaps your team. why dont you jsut put a cleanup script in. im not a programmer but damn thats pretty simplistic. It would be much better for you to just add that option to the command line install. much much better. Ok theres some quality drunken QA for you. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
