Well, while your rant is true, I haven't had to deal with BAT files (or even Powershell scripts) in Windows installs for a very long time.
(One reason for that may be NSIS, bequeathed onto us by Justin Frankel of Winamp, Gnutella and Reaper fame, which allows for streamlined (un)installers).
- Twisell 9y agoA .bat is the worst case but does NSIS prevent a badly written script? I don’t think so, it’s still up to the developer to care. Adding an UI on top of a badly written script will do as much harm as a .bat. (I might be wrong I’m not familiar with NSIS on the dev side while I confess I used it a lot)
