The Rise and Fall of Installation Procedures

We don't often talk about installation woes any more, unless we're mentioning dependency problems in Linux. Once, though, it was a tremendous issue, affecting all users. It was also a tremendous PITA, if you know what I mean. When the Windows Registry made it's appearance, we all cheered. Well, most of us, anyway.

Here is a complete history of installation procedures, written succinctly and well. It is neither a short nor an easy read, but I found it particularly interesting and informative. If you have the inclination, go for it. I guarantee you will learn a lot.
