Nice install, extract binary and run. No registry settings or install-programs.

Thanks. I try to keep to that model- it doesn't make sense for a little utility to have all that baggage.

Funny thing is, I write installers for a living, it's part of my job where I work. I have written some of the most convoluted, complicated installers you've ever seen. My last project- get this- was to install a special intranet web site into MS Internet Information Server. Setting all the permissions, setting the application spaces, all of the sub-web stuff, assigning IPs and ports numbers, etc. That way, the admin simply has to run "setup" on our CD and all the messy details are taken care of for him. You have no idea how tough it is to get that stuff working in a C++ DLL...

Anyway, that's probably the reason all my utility programs are installer-free. I spend my workdays having to take our company's convoluted software and write messy installers for it, so I make sure my software is simple enough so that it doesn't need the installer.
