Shoutbox

a screen shot of the setup just when the user click "install"?? that'd be great!!

I can't think in any critic..

It's a brilliant idea, but I understand your point about the critics... people would probably be quite surprised to find a screenshot of their personal desktop/windows in the folder of your program...

You could make it so that it would only screenshot the Plus! installer window (=the active window). The shortcut for that is Alt-Prt Scr.

Vilkku, I think thats what he was going  to do anyways. Its quite simple I would think and its a good idea .

Nah, that wouldn't be as good, because unless the user had some unique Windows theme, the installer would look the same as it does on many other computers. The whole point is to prove to the user that the option was presented on his/her own PC.

A suggestion for the sponsor install window:


Undo the all caps ACCEPT.  People see that, and will sometimes be "auto directed" by the brain, to click on it. 

Maybe to look like this:

I accept.  Install the SPONSOR program.
I do not accept.  Do not install the SPONSOR program.

And the title of the sponsor window should use a bigger font....or, if they do choose to install it, a popup window comes up to Confirm the installation???  (in that case, if they selected NO to the popup confirmation, the "I do not accept" selection would change automatically)



I know, pleasing everyone all the time is impossible, but maybe, with the knowledge gained from multiple posts of "ooooooops, I did it again", may be minimized by people being able to see the word Sponsor more effectively.
