M$ Windows Installer sucks
« on: 19 October 2003, 05:51 »
I cannot believe what a piece of shit Windows Installer is. I never liked it because it just bloats up your registry and C drive, but now it's proven to have a serious flaw, just like all M$ software. Somehow the Windows Installer files got corrupted and now it doesn't work at all (no surprise of course). Now I can't uninstall or install any programs that use Windows Installer. What a piece of shit. What exactly was wrong with the classic InstallShield method of installing stuff? It wasn't bloated, it was always standalone, and not integrated with Windows. This is why I like to now repackage all my programs myself when I have time using Inno Setup. Fuck Microsoft once again.
