Provide a clean installer

[Balkoth]

Hi there,

 

first and foremost i want to thank you for providing ImgBurn for so long for free. I am a software developer myself and can understand that time is money and this software propably took a loot of your time throughout the years. But bundling your software with this addware installer just left a bitter taste in my mouth. I was reinstalling a laptop from a friend from scratch and always recommended ImgBurn because its simple to use yet powerfull software. Now that i found this new feature of your installer where i can not skipt to not install some random addware this might change.

 

I know i have no right to complain because i am recieving this basically for free. This is just food for thought

You can always opt out of whatever OpenCandy offers you.

If i could opt out i would not have written my original post. The option to not install the additional software was grayed out.

You can always opt out. Just try clicking it.

 

I actually thought the disabled looking 'custom' options had been removed but I guess they are still working on it.

Or you can run the installer from commandline with the /nocandy option. That will skip the opencandy part of the setup completely.

Or disconnect your modem before running the installer.  You can then reconnect the modem after the installation completes.

 

 

What I do is stop all Internet activity in ZoneAlarm.  It does the same thing and I don't have to disconnect and reconnect my cable modem all the time.
