Windows Live Installer - I Miss Windows Live Writer

by Jason Bean on September 15th, 2008

First of all, I can’t stand the functionality and feature of the Windows Live Installer. There’s a single installation file, then you select the additional products you want to include in your installation.

MICROSOFT PLEASE STOP DOING THIS!

Don’t make me go through the process of going through this step. If I know all I want to download and install is the Windows Live Writer install, then give me a link to just do that on the Windows Live page.

Now if you want to offer an option to build an installer package like this on the initial Windows Live page, then that’s fine. But if I’ve searched out a specific application and want it, just give me that application. Don’t make it difficult or frustrating for your customers to get the products of yours they want.
