Description vakrat1 2007-05-28 12:10:34 UTC 
The NB 6.0 M9 installer doesn't look like a professional installer.
The functionality it provides is good, but the L&F should be improved.
The InstallShield tool used for 5.5 is much better in terms of L&F.
Comment 1 Lukas Hasik 2007-05-28 13:03:38 UTC 
could you be more specific, please? 
What exactly do you ask about in this issue?
Comment 2 vakrat1 2007-06-04 15:44:47 UTC 
Take for an example the installer of the IDE version 5.5 (InstallShield).
There is some cool background image, the items presented are reacher.

I'm not a UI designer, but the new installer is not in the same level in terms
of L&F as the previuos installer of the IDE.

I have to mentions that the functionality suggested by the new installer is
better than in the 5.5
Comment 3 Lukas Hasik 2007-09-13 10:47:23 UTC
