They are not selected by default.

I don't understand why that question comes over an over again. I mean: The installer clearly tells what you have to do. What's wrong with it? I wonder why people don't realise that some components are optional and need to be selected... See the screenshot... :-(

Do we really need a HowTo on "How to use the installer"???

No no no. This is what I have said last year, people typically click next next next, without reading what's on the panel. Remember I advocated to have all plugins installed by default.

And I think the user is right not to read all those panels, this should be easy, not geek oriented ;-)

So yes, if people would read everything nicely, they won't have a problem. But I still feel it is just our fault, we should have made it easier.

It's like  :  if the user can use your interface the wrong way it is not the users fault, but yours ;-)

So I hope in the next release we will install all by default, and only for those geek experts allow by extra clicks to (de)select appropriately.

As I said there

Let's install all plugins by default.
Maybe C::B devs should decide which ones should be enabled by default but with current hard drive sizes, I think all plugins should be installed.

killerbot:
CB with all its plugins is still very very small in size.
And if people complain about the size, they should compare it to Eclipse or MSVC ;-)

Jenna:
The most people are used to get a full install as default on windows, and nearly nobody is used to read instructions before doing something.
So it might be a good idea (to avoid unneeded threads) to make the full install the default.

A full install of trunk is about 30MB on my XP, that's not so much compared to the actual hdd sizes.
