Not necessaryily stay away from them Tony, but make it clear how to use them to extract to a temp location and manually add them aswell.... you can use them as a sexy form of winzip. :) .... Worrying that I find installers sexy isn't it. :$ HELP

Totally agree with all the sentiments on 'things going in unseen' :worried:

Although, with aircraft particularly, I would always have backups of relevent folders to save too much hassle - and on the subject of development of A/C - if there was a readme with the details included, I would trust that (well if it was from a member of this forum's work) ;-)

I don't see too much problem - of course whenever *anyone* says that we all know what happens :$

Overall, I would rather use a self-installer (laziness) - but I would prefer to do it the hard way than use Winzip (a program I have never liked for some reason) :dunno:

Best of all would be to get someone else to do it all :lol:
