joebells Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 Hi I was wondering if it was mabye better to install some programs before other programs? Like maybe bigger programs first or maybe last. Right now I have .net install first and antivirus last. the stuff in the middle is just there. I was wondering if there were any thoughts on this.

prathapml Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 Right now I have .net install first and antivirus last. the stuff in the middle is just there.Yes, that's the right way. Many ppl would do it like this:The 2 things as mentioned in the quote are good. Then the big apps install, then the utils, then the direct-extraction SFXes, then the registry tweaks, then the clean-up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazin Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Also, some progs (like WinXP Manager) requires .Net Framework to be installed first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I don't really want preferences. I want to know, in terms of stability, etc. what is the PROPER order to install?Has microsoft ever spoken about this?

[Forsaken]Omni Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 would you do the registry tweaks at the beginning or at the end?I have a tweak to change my special folders some go to a network computer like 'My Documents' music and others are on my computer like 'Desktop' and 'Favorites' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
