Custom vs "Complete" or "Typical" installs?
-
How many of you now always select "Custom" install for free apps in order to ensure you don't get the toolbars and desktop apps (eg GoogleWare) that many apps now bundle?

I always choose custom. Always have, always will.

I take custom/Advanced. But do take into account that this is a programing site and most of us has the know how (or fussiness) to make applications do what we want it to do (or try to). My guess is that most end users just use typical (like my mom) because they are afraid that they loose out by not installing the whole app.

What bugs me is when the three options are really all the same. You choose Custom and then you find that there is only one option to install.

Custom always.

Well let's reformulate. Is there anyone here not using custom install? (I do not expect any answer :) ).

Yes, but only for students, when there is not sufficient time. Otherwise, post pond the installation. :rolleyes:

Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.Yeah! Or you have 5 Options, of which only one can be deselected because everything else is considered "mandatory". RAAAARGH!

I like to select "Advanced" because it makes me feel like a PC guru! ;P

9 out of 10 times I choose custom.

Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.Installation Software is somewhat orthogonal to Usability. Everybody who does them is hapyp to get them running somehow. If you want them to make sense you (a) have to make it a standard installation or (b) good luck, see you in a month

Custom unless it's an install I'm familiar with. Sometimes I'm quite surprised at what crap the installer wants to install (usually toolbars, but sometimes a huge list of useless things.)
