GAME DEVELOPERS, TAKE NOTE OF THIS.

[Nickelob Ultra]

<3 Relic Studios for actually asking me if I want to install DirectX or C++ redistributable instead of forcing it down my trachea, making me gag like an starfish and delaying the launch of my game.



What does it mean by AUX installer?

[Moriarty]

loool this made me lol
atleast, yes, it does make it a little faster when you dont have to install the dirext x and redistrutable every time

[otto-san]

auxiliary installer

[Lørd Tøny]

I like when installing games from the 90s they still ask me if I want to install Directx 3.0.

[Lugnut]

I hate when installers only exist to install another installer.

[D3ATH]

In Steam for some games I have to run first time setup every single time because I already have that program it tries to install, so it won't install and I have to exit the setup get to the game.

[Fredulus]

How'd you get retribution? :D

[Sunglasses]

I hate when installers only exist to install another installer.

Sooooo... Everything that uses pando?

[Sulfate]

That happened for me before, with Magicka.
Because I already had the XNA SDK installed.

Incase you didn't know, you had to update Windows Installer to install some applications on XP.

[Zuero]

Sooooo... Everything that uses pando?

you only download pando once

[otto-san]

you only download pando once

you download the installation files from the pando downloader and then install it.

[Chrono]

Pointless downloader utility doesn't equal installer.

[Marcem]

I read somewhere that most games install directx over and over because they use a specific release of directx that may not work right with future or past versions.  Just if it could run a check for the required libraries or whatever it needs...

[Bisjac]

the extra 20 seconds for any of this really dosnt ruin my day
