Wow! Internet Explorer 5.2.2

oddly enough I did get it to install finaly... I opened the installer until it told me to quit all apps. I ran the applescript and waited for it to time out. After clicking cancel it installed fine.

Strange, but it got the job done.

What, like www.microsoft.com?

I love how the IE installer closes everything you have open. Thanks, guys. Like copying the .app into /Applications has anything to do with anything else.

Yeah what the HELL is microsoft thinking? And it doesn't quit the Finder either. The Finder is just another app, you know!

Obviously, they don't even have time to do anything to their installer except quickly "carbonize" it. It's just the OS 9 installer quickly wrapped in Carbon.

Microsoft sucks.

Funny. Now people go psycho over MS's use of the VISE installer. But when Microsoft was about the only software developer on the Mac promoting drag-and-drop installs, no one said anything positive.

Grow up people. I'm sorry, but... grow up.

Not me, I posted a message back then saying that Microsoft totally impressed me by the drag and drop installation of Office products.

But this Explorer installer is just... crap. Pure, liquid crap.

You see, they promoted it (?) and nowadays they use ONLY this TOTALLY crap installers...

From MS Office X:Mac to IE5.2.2 they didn't use Drag & Drop installs BUT more or less the same crap that they currenctly used in IE5.2.2... So, you see M$ is the one that HAS to GROW up and not us, the users...

Maybe they thought: "They hate us anyway, let's give them a reason!"

Actualy, if you would read the readme on the Office install CD it says that if you want all the apps installed to just drag and drop. If you are wanting a customized install you would click on the installer. I'm running a D&D'd version of Word right now.
