Hi.
This post is a feature request.
So I've just installed several apps on the Portableapps platform. Because of bandwidth limitations, this process takes some time (about an hour).
Some of the reason it takes long time, is that some applications demand the user to click "yes I agree to whatever the message says". In practice, if you want to make this fast, then you must "babysit" the installation - because the time between each of those interruption is very random.
But - bear with me at home office - I have a slightly possible workable idea. It doesn't solve it but surely make it better for end user:
What if the apps was grouped (hidden from end user/gui) in two main groups - the apps that does interrupt by asking the user to click yes/ok/agree from the apps that just got installed with no interruption.
And more - if all those apps that require user interaction is installed before all the other applications. That means the user may need to baby-sit for five minutes, but after that can have a break, have a good cup of coffee while the installer get the rest of the applications started.
Thanks
