Last view: 4912 days 		I remember this guy on the workhome dial-up connection in 2001. He started downloading a 400+ MB ISO at noon, and finished at 6:00 in the morning...
...to find the file was corrupted.

Download accelerators suck.

Hey hey hey. It's "Kawa and I", for the record. If you remove me from your opening post, you get "me and Kawa had to". "Me had to". "Kawa and I had to".
I am more important than you :P
And "I and Kawa" just does not sound right.

I never see that message on OS X. :)

*shot*
That's because these are pre-built packages, and the system files are untouchable.
It avoids DLL hell but it makes the system more closed.

Relevant article.
But the real problem, of course, is the eternal tension between security and convenience.

Undeniably, the simplest possible interface for installing a downloadable app would be a web page with a button saying "Download and install ThisApp" which--when clicked--would handle the entire download and install process. You click on it, there's a slight delay, and the application is sitting in your applications folder (Mac) or Start Menu (Windows), ready to go.

Of course, if a known, responsible developer were capable of doing this, then a somewhat less reputable individual would be just as easily able to put the download-and-install code behind a button that said "CLICK HERE FOR HOT PIXXXX!!!!" and have it install any and all sorts of stuff you really never wanted on your computer.

Relevant article.

Dunno, honestly I disagree with the article- moving the file into Applications (which has a little bit of the sidebar in the Finder, which is usually awful but makes it very easy in this specific regard) is to me easier than sitting through a setup.exe (which may itself have come in a zip file!), and deleting it is about as easy as ejecting the "disk" and deleting it.

And having everything in a convenient folder is easier, though of course Kiyoshi notes that tradeoffs there. (But of course, winsxs takes up so much space now... are the benefits of more shared resources really there on Windows?)
I remember installing Windows 98 on a 6.4 GB hard drive, and I always copied the contents of the win98 install folder off the CD to my hard drive, so I would not need the CD every time.
For XP it was still advisable to do the same with the I386 folder.
Vista and 7 leave copies of system files for you.
It's a trade-off between convenience and disk space. The latter is hardly an issue nowadays.

Edit: DLL hell was mostly solved in Windows XP, which always looks for a DLL first in the program path, before looking in the system folders.

And that's the same reason to just include your libraries in the application package rather than dumping them in system folders. *shrug*
Most programs do, but this still does not work for kernel-level libraries. For that, there is the compatibility mode fix.
And everything is solved if people just start using .NET :P

Unlike what the Anti-MS communities say, this is not a security hole.

As I recall, older versions of the software stated you were tied. >_>


Yes, but think about it for a moment - why would you say you're tied with yourself? <_<
Don't you feel pretty tied up now?

@Kawa has met @Ailure as well.

Remind me to wear a steel helmet before meeting @Kawa.
A full body armour would be better.

I succumbed to the indoctrination of Apple and burned a $900 hole in my pocket for one of those 2048x1536 iPads.
The once most sensible person on Kafuka has succumbed to the indoctrination of Apple.

We're doomed.
