You know, programmers are stupid sometimes

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Over One Year

Recommend Product: YES

Every time I download the update, the same dance happens. It's a ZIP file, where it could be a disc image. Then I click on the installer for Boinc, and the Boinc file opens. Then it disappears. Then I get a Paranoid Android warning that Installer is starting up. Now shouldn't this be handled by Installer TO BEGIN WITH????

I know people from Berkeley tend to be...eccentric...in terms of what they think is right and wrong, but this install process is clearly done by a five-year-old (pardon the attack there) and it needs revamped.

You mustn't have Paranoid Android for the warning.
