[gui-talk] Which Winamp 5.5 installation type to use?

Sat Nov 10 14:05:11 CST 2007

Hey, this isn't some kind of disability complaint I'm making. I'm saying 
that nowhere that I've seen are there simply definitions for the four 
installation types! That would be normal, once upon a time! It would only 
require a short list. Somewhere it would say.

Three are four types of installation to choose from, There on your needs:

1. Full-- includes audio player, video player and automatic flu shot 
injection.
2. Standard audio, video and dispenses to aspirin tablets.tablets
3. Lite - Plays Audio only
4. custom-- any combination of file type plus choice of three different cold 
and flu medications (prescription required)

See? Nothing more than that! Minus the flu stuff.

All you have to do is uncheck what you don't want and press the install
button.  That isn't too difficult for most people.  I know you can't help
tat it is more difficult for you but it's not necessarily the fault of the
program.

Similar lists of features seem to appear no matter which installation type
you check. I have a feeling the difference may be something more than that.
But I'll go try it again and patiently check each type, in turn, and see
which features are shown. Needless to say, though I'm just the one who's
liable to say it, this is not very informative design for a dialogue like
this. I shouldn't have to be asking the way I am. Of course, back in the
days when you got programs at the store in boxes, they came with printed
manuals, from slender pamphlets for something like this (probably, I'm
guessing) to fat volumes of instruction for something like Word. But in the
first chapter, Installation, or maybe it would have been the second one
after a one-page thing about system requirements, you'd have been told in a
few paragraphs that the program can be installed in several configurations,
and here's the difference, and here's how to choose among them. So when you
got to the actual dialogue, you'd know exactly what was being presented to
you. God forbid they should waste their time with anything as human friendly
as that, anymore, which could be done online at a company Web site, too.
English. Sentences and paragraphs. Not bulleted lists and tables and search
edit fields. But so it goes, and I find myself asking these questions and
everyone just guessing, around and around  It's not our fault. We're not
being told what we need to know. It's real simple. Shoddy behavior on the
vendor's part.

Okay. Thanks.

I believe you'll have more control over witch features you install that way.

But remember what I said. There are several installation types. Full,
standard, lite and something else. Now I think each of those brings up a
slightly different set of components, but I want to know which instillation
type to choose, and only then will I go to the next area and uncheck any
components that are still there but which you say I'm to get rid of.

First I want to know which type to choose, regardless of the second step.
Thanks.

While visualizations won't hurt they can't help.  You don't want to install
the Agent, Remote, and you want the classic skin.  The first check box will
have a check in it you can't remove because it's the player itself.  so, go
down the list from there and uncheck the items previously mentioned.

Hi,

I'm about to install  Winamp 5.5, an I don't know how, as a Jaws user, I'm
supposed to choose among the several different installation types. It seems
that each type associated with a certain range of features, which seem to
change as you change installation types. but I don't know which to include
as a Jaws user for maximum accessibility and functionality.

I did find my way to some Winamp help page on the Web, and found an
explanation of what "Visualizations" are, and they're just the same as
similar animated displays used in WMP to jazz up the look of the interface
while something's flaying, sort of like a variety of screen savers that jump
around to the music. Not something I care much about, and certainly not if
it distracts the Jaws focus in any way. But about the rest of the
capabilities listed for each installation type, I have no idea what to make
of that or how to just choose an installation type.
thanks to anyone who knows how to deal with this. I'm a Jaws 8x user, if I
didn't mention it.
