If you select an option other than 'The Works' it refuses to work and downloads nothing.

Don't use the installer.

Problem solved.
People are stupid, therefore anything popular is at best suspicious.

Installer is the only way we attract most of our players, it needs to work.

But Jeff Vader wrote a fantastic tutorial for installing FSO  :(
Never far away from HLP and from a computer with an installed FreeSpace.

Yeah, but it requires the user to actually do something instead of just clicking "Next" and scratching his/her arse.

Great for experienced users and the devoted, instant turn-off to most.

If experienced software engineers don't want to put up with it there's no chance in hell your average Joe Player wants to.

What, did Turey die or something?  Go email him or something.
Could we with ink the ocean fill, and were the skies of parchment made
Were every stalk on earth a quill, and every man a scribe by trade
To write the love of God above, would drain the ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole, though stretched from sky to sky!

If Turey was still the lead developer on the installer, that would be wise.

However, he isn't. Goober is.
If I'm just aching this can't go on
I came from chasing dreams to feel alone
There must be changes, miss to feel strong
I really need lifе to touch me

Hey, where were my PMs for the last three days? :(

Also, pay me moneys.

For those interested, this is the current version of the Installer.  It is, of course, not quite complete.
