New issue 1024 by eric.torbenson: Gears lacks a standalone installer that
does not require Internet access
http://code.google.com/p/gears/issues/detail?id=1024
I am a client systems architect for an IT outsourcing company. One of my
tasks is building disk images for customers that use our desktop IT
outsourcing service.
We have a customer who requires Google Gears for a third-party product.
They are in an offline environment with very limited Internet access. One
of the things that makes Windows image creation much easier is the ability
to install a product without Internet access. Google Gears does not appear
to have an installer available that does not communiccate with the
Internet. As a result, we have to connect the machine to the Internet once
to access http://gears.google.com and get the Gears bits downloaded and
installed.
We would like to see an offline installer that does not rely on the
Internet for software. In other words, clicking one Setup EXE will give the
user everything he needs for that particular version of Gears.
