Hi,
Just had the occasion to follow a beginner through the installation process via Java Webstart, on Windows XP. Here is what I noticed : - The installer is now signed with a Thawte certificate, which is accepted by default. That's good ! - The two phase install confused the user. He thought the install was finished after the first one and didn't understood the programm was actually downloading freenet in the second one. - He was again confused when the browser spawned up saying "Installation successfull" and the installer was still donwloading stuff. Additionnaly, that page was in English despite the fact he chose French in the installer. I had to tell him he had to finish the installer and then, click on the link to the first-time wizard. - The wizard was quite straightforward and he choose default values, which happened to be good for him, IMHO. - Just a detail : every shortcuts (except Browse Freenet) in the menu came with the same default icon. He was disapointed and I had to tell him it was irrelevant and everything was fine. Maybe we should only spawn the browser at the very end of the installation process, when the installer closes and Freenet is up and running. And maybe we should open directly to the wizard page, which is i18n-ed. Hope this is usefull... -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
