I did the first time, and after seeing the betas were solid, I'm a beta boy now. However, I just have to resort the forum postings to put the last first instead going to page 49+!
:wink:

Conc. XYplorer_5.10_BETA_exe.zip

It seems that idea was not so cool after all. So I go back to the previous way, okay. For me it's just the same anyway.

Well, if you bundle all the necessary files like EXE, .HLP etc into one zip then it's not a bad idea i think. As a user i dont find unzipping contents into XY directory so hard. Well, its a different thing if it increases your workload.

PS: If i were a paranoid newbie i would prefer the .zip way than the installer way.

Paranoid newbies please goto the official download page, there's your glasnost ZIP. The Beta Club ain't for the paranoid. :twisted: :mrgreen:

The point is: I and nobody else seems to see any advantage (but a number of disadvantages) in a no-install BETA. So lets just forget it.

:lol: i thought you will make it all like previous. now i realise you are going to change only the beta thing. yeah fine fine. BTW, the ones who trust betas are the frequent users not the paranoids (newbies). To be very frank i dont care even if u write something to my registry, you wont get anything out of my PC. :wink:

Please don't forget it. I think the no-install beta is excellent, so much easier and quicker.

Sorry, but you'll suffer the fate of the minority.

In that case I'll use 7-Zip as peterbonge suggested, it works a treat and all I need to do is re-write my install script to work that way.
