Software Repair .

[T2020]

Sometimes Ninja messes up and you need to reinstall it . It's kind of a pain
because you can't have a copy of Ninja saved to a folder which you could
simply click on and reinstall to fix any corruption . Most software's are saved
to a folder and have a repair option . I don't see why you should have to down load it all over again just to reinstall . Wastes a lot of time if you don't
have a fast internet connection . ...

Not sure I follow.
- NT uses the MS standard installer
- this results in a "Change" and a "Remove" option on XP control panel ("Add or remove programs") which are the exact same options other installed SW does have

Every software application that I have ever installed on on PC ,was 1st
downloaded and saved to a folder on my hard drive in it's entirety .
Then installed from that folder - to the computer .All you
save with Ninja is a " Setup.exe" file which then downloads Ninja in it's entirety . Ninja is Never saved to the hard drive 1st . It always has to down
loaded . While Ninja is fairly stable , I've had to reinstall the same version
many times . If I had a copy on my hard drive instead of having to down
load it over and over again ,this would be a much faster process .

This is standard behavior for SW with large installer files downloaded from the web: they all come with a bootstrap loader which then downloads the installer file.

Why in particular would you need to reinstall NT?

I have more than 1 Large file type SW on my PC and NT is the only one handled in this way .

Because NT becomes corrupted .

Here's a reason to allow us to download the full installer and have it reside on our local computer.
I just installed VMware on my mac and installed winXP pro on it. I then down loaded the bootstrap to install NT. It downloaded the full 32Mb then proceeded to tell me that I needed .net version2.000xxxxx well I had to do this a couple of times and spent 96Mb and about 15mins per download to install NT even tho I have installed NT on this same machine in 2 different Virtual Windows installs.. So I have actually wasted over 150Mb bandwidth of mine and yours.
Seems a little silly to me,
Please provide the full installer and have an update checker as the primary part of the installer.

Cheers
Chris
