It may actually be interesting to see if we can make an expert system for this. When I think about implementing an installer (alas I've been doing that), I'm not so much interested in how things are packaged, or how it looks but rather what needs to be done, when and how all these actions relate and interact with each other. This is especially tricky when actions are triggered by the current configuration of the machine onto which one tries to install. Knowing all the possible activities and their dependencies should help establish a control flow through the installation process in such a way that users get asked only those questions that are relevent and also when it matters. One puts a UI on top of this to get a nice looking installer. At least, that's how I look at it... -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 marcel_at_xcllnt.netReceived on Wed Dec 01 2004 - 23:29:40 UTC
