It's not a matter of the users being smart.
It's a matter of you being courteous to the user's.
Automated installs are standard on all professional applications.
Not having one creates a certain impression in the mind of the user.
In most cases, you will find more people complimenting you on including a
C= standard installer than you will if you force them to use the CLI.
(It's a big, changing market out there. It would be foolish to alienate a
large segment just because you didn't want to spend half a day making an
installer [heck, get some tester to do it…]. [I may portray the average
user as being somewhat boorish and petulant, but trust me, it's closer to
reality than we would all like to admit.] :^)
Thanks,
