Incomplete cAlgo installer and documentation
16 Jan 2013, 03:22


The cAlgo installer has no option to specify the destination folder -- a developer is able to do better decisions regarding the usage of the root drive, or an SSD.

The cAlgo installer has created 7(!) different folders in 4 different locations -- this is closer to spaming, then to a user friendly installer.

Neither the default destination folder nor the other folders are documented.

the cAlgo platform uses the Clickonce installer technology. It is not spamming it is a deployment technology from Microsoft.

 

Here is an ov erview of the Clickonce installer.

I know about the ClickOnce deployment technology... but this wasn't documented either in the install documentation.

Also I don't think that ClickOnce will create those folders by default... (as a mail server will never send out spams on its own)
