One of the major benefits of the installer is that it can check your installation to make sure you don't have things that are going to cause problems later. If someone does have a problem, they will end up doing one of the following: * Trashing MW -- "dang thing is impossible to upgrade, even with the new installer!" * Staying on their old version (similar to the above). * Asking for help from people who may or may not recognise their problem right away. If they do know, they're time is being taken up doing something the installer could have done. If they don't know, they'll end up very frustrated after searching a while. I'm not asking you to fix this -- you already have a lot to do -- but when I provide an acceptable patch (this weekend?) could you merge it in? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
