Manual Installs are Out. Installers are In.
But:
- installers that require authentication are seriously uncool (unless
absolutely positively necessary)
- installers that aren't also uninstallers (that work) is akin to

- installers that do not allow for custom installation location is
moldy fruit in a gourmet buffet
If you are going down the Installer path, do it right. Otherwise,
don't do it at all. Drag and Drop FTW.
