It'd help if you told what installer you were using.

I sure earned it, didn't I?  :P

If installers need a walktrough, I would say that the purpose of installers (making things easier) is busted...

You know the saying. "If you make something idiot-proof, they'll build a better idiot."

I've definitely seen evidence of that here. Prior to April, I really didn't see any large number of "OMG HOW DUZ I USE THIS?" threads, but they've started to appear in alarming numbers. Nothing significant changed with the Installer in that time period.

On the other hand, if you truely think that it's busted, I'll just take it down...  :P :drevil:

Actually I'd go more along the word choices of Douglas Adams. This isn't a direct quote since I've only read the Finnish version, but in Mostly Harmless it was somewhat stated that when engineers try to design something idiot-proof, they never truly understand what full-blooded idiots are capable of.

:)  Pick a technology that you know absolutely nothing about, and don't really care to understand.  Now pretend that something that you really like uses this technology to work its wonders.  There you go.

Is everything already up to date? Oh, and don't post in all caps, please. It's very annoying.

This trend is a good thing in some sense. It's an indication that FS2 is becoming more popular these days and increasing in mass-appeal. Some threads like this are an inevitable consequence. :p
