InstallerNG in new AmigaOS 4

[MasterOfReality]

In all fairness InstallerNG is a very good bit of software. It creates
proper uninstall scripts, allows you to move both back and foreward
through scripts, lets you skip over errors in the scripts etc.

Unfortunately it suffers from InternetExplorer syndrome.
The original commodore installer didn't stick to the script language
as documented - it works very well with buggy or broken code.
InstallerNG was written without the benefit of the original installer
source code, so it can only implement the documented language plus any
"quirks" the author has managed to find on his own. It therefore fails
on some scripts which work under the old installer despite containing
errors.

Hopefully hyperion will have passed on the original code to the ING
coder so such problems can be minimised.

@msundman:

Good point. What I should have said is:

Creates an uninstall script.

That said, it shouldn't be too hard to implement - just store a list
of all libs etc. installed with a count of the number of apps which
appear to use them. If it's greater than 1 at uninstall, leave them.
If it's 1 at uninstall, remove them.

Yeah, but the whole point is that you don't have to do that sort of
thing by hand...

[MasterOfReality]

True enough.
