[QUOTE="Nico@FMA, post: 149435, member: 8154"] Very nice guide. However some of the bundled installers, do install their products anyway as accept or decline does not always work. Some of the more nasty installers these options are just cosmetic, and when you are looking in your hidden appdata map you will see them being installed anyway. Personally i would say if a program comes with a bundled installer: DELETE, NOT DOWNLOAD, NOT INSTALL IT. Saves you selecting 500 screens before you install a probably mediocre file at best. I regard bundled installers, Spy/Ad/and BS ware. But thats me. Anyway very great guide, well written and one that should receive the credit it deserves. [/QUOTE]
