[QUOTE="ultim, post: 828953, member: 843"] I kindly disagree. Whether an app needs an installer or not is independent from its size. It depends on what actions are needed to set up the app beside just copying files. To make sure TinyWall can always run with the required privileges and that it can start as early as possible, it is optimally run as a Windows service, which alone already makes an installer necessary. But it also performs other functions, like putting things into the GAC for added security, running ngen on binaries to optimize startup performance, creating shortcuts, and of course creating the uninstall entry. I have not created an installer because I love the additional work needed... [/QUOTE]
