0.8.4 new installer too slow
The changes made to the installer to remember past options is just way way way way too slow. It's a lot slower then my setting the options. Can we have the installer back that doesn't remember a thing?

I agree but as the What's New section states, take your complaints to Microsoft.

I prefer the new approach despite the slightly slower installation speed.
I normally use a custom install path and disable the option for a desktop icon, so it is convenient to not to have to remember to do this each time. |

It doesn't matter to me either way, I just need to go off to do something else while it is installing, although I am usually mulit-tasking anyway so the additional installation time doesn't bother me.
