nickonac Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I'm not exactly sure why so many seem to have difficulty installing ImgBurn without co-installing the 3rd-party "adware", but it did not present a challenge to me when I recently installed version 2.5.8.0! Attached to this post are 3 screen grabs of the part of the install which seems to be contentious. They show the correct procedure for installing the bit you want (ImgBurn application) whilst dismissing the 3rd-party "adware" "bloatware" "crapware" - whatever you wish to call it! VERY SIMPLE: When you are presented with an option for installing ANYTHING, other than the initial ImgBurn, just select "Custom installation" and un-check (un-tick) any Check-Box below. During this stage, after un-checking the boxes, a notice appeared below stating: "Leaving all the boxes unchecked will not install anything." Perhaps this is confusing people. I assure you, the ONLY thing that won't be installed is the offending "software". Just click "Next" & ImgBurn WILL be installed, nice-&-clean! Of course, it is possible to unpack the ImgBurn installer (as it is with most programs) but I would dare to suggest that if you're bright enough to do that, then you're bright enough to run through the provided installer normally & choose the obvious options to "opt out" of 3rd-party offers. Maybe if a few more people chose to donate for this excellent software, it wouldn't be necessary to collaborate with 3rd-parties at all. I install, or provide an install disc of, brilliant freeware like ImgBurn to my customers' computers, & I also encourage them verbally, or through a "readme", to donate to those people who spend their valuable time creating & perfecting the kind of software that is so useful & widespread that we take for granted - FOR FREE! I have only just joined this forum, but I am truly shocked at some of the abuse & ignorant anger which has been directed towards ImgBurn's creator.

dbminter Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Sort of like my story with 2.5.8.0. I pointed out the new version to my best friend and he installed it. Then, he told me after installing it, he had all of his bookmarks deleted. I guessed he got click happy and something from OpenCandy replaced his bookmarks. I've not heard from him ever since; it's been almost a year now. But, do I blame the author of ImgBurn for this? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
