Solid State Logic - The Installation Manager insanity Goes On

I just noticed that SSL supports now only installation with their IM (they're not the only company doing this). That's quite crazy for an iLok company IMHO! This 10-doubles the system resources (and time) required to install one single plugin. Why do the young generation university people always make our life so troublesome and elaborately?

That's why I had to assemble my own zip files for installation on my offline system! Mad!

This thread should be in the coffee house.  I could break the net about how stupid tech is in every industry.

I pretty much despise most developers.  That attitude is mostly outside the DAW world.

Browsers basically suck in the desktop environment.

If all of these ideas are to reduce piracy I think it encourages it.

Is this more of a PC issue?  I'm on a Mac and these installers are rarely, if ever, an issue for me.  

Personally, I'd much rather have a single installer for multiple plugins than have to do the same thing over and over if you have more than 5 from any developer.  If I had to install everything one by one I'd probably never update anything.

This is true for me if there are only install managers, because each time I open the IM, first, it has to update itself, then I have to search the thing to install, then most of them install very slowly, then they install to locations other than I use or they install things that I don't want, i.e. I have to do changes manually, then I have to do the whole thing on my 2 other pcs, too, what a pain!
