I'd prefer if you at least used some manner of bypassing the installer and just opening the archive. I want direct access to the files when I try to open it with WinZip or 7-zip or another archive manager. I do not need Start menu icons, I do not want registry entries.

When I used the uninstaller, it opened up http://www.eq2interface.com/download...fo.php?id=3859 three times! I don't want to be harassed when I uninstall it. I just want it to go away.
Thank you

My intention with providing an installer was to make things as simplistic as possible for those who want to use a UI but lack the technical skills to manage it.
I'll see about providing my source files for you and anyone else that would rather manually manage these files as I understand your concerns.

As for the web link call in the installer, I asked in my posts before adding the option if anyone objected, and had no replies.

I along with you can't stand pop ups and what have you, but I thought this may make life easier for the non-technical. Opening it 3 times was a goof up on my part and I apologize.

I actually already removed the auto web links at install and have removed them entirely for the new version that is in beta.

As for having pictures in my installer of the various UI pieces, I would love to but I'm not that good yet. I actually used what I would call "A guided dummies installer" to make the package for ThorUI. Don't get me wrong its nice and does a great job but lacks the ability to add customization like you mention.

I am working on learning more regarding programming as its an interest of mine but for now I'm officially "just a EQ2 UI modder without programming skills".
