What do you have against program installers?

To quote Roger Johansson (with his permission) from his posting on alt.comp.freeware:

> Would someone be so kind to explain why one would be against a program installing? I don't understand the issue here.

I have many favorite programs on the D: partition, and they continue to work no matter if Windows crashes, and needs to be re-installed, or if I change to another version of Windows.

I try to avoid using programs which have to be re-installed when I reinstall Windows. I use more and more programs which do not depend much on Windows to work.

Many of my favorite no-install programs are programs I have moved to another partition than it was installed to, and I test if it works well from there. Then it is fairly independent from Windows and I keep it.

On C: I only have Windows and a few programs which do not work un-installed, so when I have to repair or upgrade Windows I have to re-install those programs too. That is why I try to minimize the number of programs which need to be installed correctly to work. If I can find a program which is less fussy and works in all situations, even if I have moved its program folder to another drive, I prefer that program.
