I've already stated my reasons several times in this thread, but in short: I want an installer that has no dependencies (particularly no net dependencies) other than things like Windows (tm). I want to be able to archive it and know it will install the same version later, no matter what the rest of the world does. Most of the other uses being tossed about for an installer I would rather do via something else (like SVN). > Yea, this is why I'm convinced that, at least at some point, we'll want to have both kinds available, because there are a lot of people on both sides of that fence (I'm somewhere in between, fwiw). | |||
