eCo Software collected arguments to understand what is better for eComStation:
Native installer or XUL-based installer?
Notes: We appreciate the efforts of the developers working on
mozilla browser and components. Our goal is to prevent mistakes in the future
and select right targets.
What is XUL-installer? Installer using XUL,
XUL (pronounced "zool"),
the XML User Interface Language, is an XML user interface markup
language developed by the Mozilla project. XUL operates in
Mozilla cross-platform applications such as Firefox and Flock.

The installer will be used in OS/2 environment only. So, this doesn't give advantages |

It's easy to implement with native installer |
|

This will require much efforts and time |
| 8. XUL - performance |
|
|
Slow installation on slow or embedded computers |
| 9. Profit for developers of eCS software |
|
|
We must use native API and share results with thirdparty developers. If we don't use API then OS is dying. |
| 10. Who will develop XUL installer |
|
|
The goal is feed eCS Dev Group. XUL installer will
require thirdparty people. |

this is the third generation of eCS installer.
Thoudsands of hours are spend to it although users run it during
1 hour per year.
