[QUOTE="soccer97, post: 330106, member: 22825"] Another step that I cannot "Officially" confirm is to disconnect from the internet after you have downloaded the installation file that contains the OpenCandy wrapper. Many of these "Add-on" offers are pay per install (thus when a user installs the program, it notifies the server, and the developer or whoever gets their affiliate/pay-per click portion). I have noticed that sometimes, they are not offered, or at least are not customized if the internet is disconnected during program installation. [/QUOTE]
