Installer...?

<< < (2/2)

Golden-Death:
the problem is that so many people had trouble getting the installer to connect, and kept getting errors. It would just be better to make an offline installer, those old online ones started cluttering up my computer and got all confusing

Mank:
Basically I'll overview the good and bad points for each.

Online installer:
Positives
Easy to use
You can pick what you want to install

Negatives
Needs more bandwidth because people need to download everything each time they install
Connection errors happen if a host is down

Offline installer:
Positives
Uses less bandwidth
People are familiar with offline installers

Negatives
Can't pick the content you want (That's if we use a standard offline installer!)

David:
Online Installer stops all the people going 'Omg this **** pluGin dOisn't worc!' because they have an old version

(Thats if the online installer can be got to auto update)

PersonalJihad:
They all diid download a newer version, but online installers are crap.

Lord Canti:
I take it your discussing the 3.1 Issue?
