In your own words it's a recommendation not a mandate, the MS pages are full of such things as "Windows Installer technology can be used..."

My reaction stemmed from the fact that was installed without notice and potentially silently if had I walked away from the install (as I often do) - not from what it was.

When I uninstall Sigil 0.8.0 it doesn't uninstall the C++ libraries it installed. I'm not sure it can/should because unlike things installed in Common Files I suspect there's no usage counts on things such as the C++ libraries. IMO that's another reason why the user should be 'involved' in the process.

That too is my last word on the issue.
