>             Project: Apache Flex

>          Components: InstallApacheFlex, Installer
>    Affects Versions: Install Apache Flex 2.6

> On installing Apache Flex with the installer on Windows I have noticed some things that could be improved:
> 1. The installer installs itself which is unneeded. The installer should just install Apache Flex and the needed components. Just think of what would happen if every installer would install itself - a real bloatmare.
> 2. It would also be nice if there would be an offline installer for instaling on multiple machines or for later installs if internet access isn't possible.
> 3. The installer shows some components as needed like OSMF and playerglobal.swc but allows to unselect them. I think if the components are required there is no reason for the possibility to unselect them (just grey them out like the installer for the installer already does).
> 4. If the installer is downloading components it would be nice if he would show a more detailed progress like "17.2M/59.8M (852 K/s)".
> 5. It would also be nice if the installer would provide an option to automatically register the bin directory to the PATH variable.
