Have you ever fired any of Oracle Corp setup/installers?
- bhauer 14y agoTouché. Those are awful. I'd say Oracle should be ashamed, but I'm sure Larry Ellison is feeling really bad about himself in between counting stacks of money.
- hnriot 14y agoOracle installers aren't meant to be pretty, but rather practical, they are run mostly by IT professions who know what they are doing. Remember an Enterprise solution has to conform to ADA in 57 different countries and be fully translated, must work on version current-15, must work on lynx, IE5, csh, bash, ksh, windows 31, osx and vms :) your convenience is pretty low on their priority list...
- reeses 14y agoNo, the enterprise solution means it can run only on versions ancient-x, ancient-y, and ancient-z of these OSes on approved hardware and must use this JVM and accept applets and plugins. :-) This is what happens when the buyer is not the user.
