Crappy Setups

[NewsArchive]

I'm installing Cakewalk Sonar (not a Setupbuilder install).

They have you download a 2.5 gig .exe and a 2.5 gig .rar file.

The setup then extracts itself and the .rar to a folder in preparation
for the actual setup.

Then it installs from that temp folder to the final destination.

I'm guessing it's going to eat up over 20 gigs and probably won't
clean up that temp folder.

I've had similar behavior with Sony products and other music related
stuff.

I'm sure that giant setups are a whole new animal, but it seems they
could make good use of Setupbuilder and streamline the install (in
addition to saving space)

In the future, all installers are SetupBuilder...
